I Caught a Giant Squid in the Middle East

I traveled to Jordan in the Middle East to go fishing for Giant Squid. These dangerous creatures are very mysterious, and I wanted to learn how to catch them. Dr. Marwan is an expert at catching Giant Squid, so I joined him on his boat, searching for these monsters. We were fishing in the Gulf of Aqaba, a branch of the Red Sea. These are ancient waters surrounded by four different nations. We were fishing in over 2,000ft (700 meters) of water using electric Penn reels. I can't believe I caught a Giant Squid in the Middle East!

No. We cannot. Laughing at a dying squid is not funny. Yes, many people eat fish, etc, but their is no reason to "HAHA he is dying" There is this thing call humane kills, then there is this thing call inhumane kills. Halal is one of the inhumane kills. Laughing at something dying is also inhumane. There are options to "dispatch" or quick kill animals, fish etc. So you want to vibe over these likeable humor and personality traits? Clearly this is made more apparent from footage on services like youtube. So have a laugh and enjoy the video...

Do not kill me but: 😁 The giant squid (Architeuthis dux) is a species of deep-ocean dwelling squid in the family Architeuthidae. It can grow to a tremendous size, offering an example of abyssal gigantism: recent estimates put the maximum size at around 12-13 m (39-43 ft)[2][3][4][5] for females and 10 m (33 ft)[3] for males, from the posterior fins to the tip of the two long tentacles (longer than the colossal squid at an estimated 9-10 m (30-33 ft),[6] but substantially lighter, as the tentacles make up most of the length[7]). The mantle of the giant squid is about 2 m (6 ft 7 in) long (more for females, less for males), and the length of the squid excluding its tentacles (but including head and arms) rarely exceeds 5 m (16 ft).[3] Claims of specimens measuring 20 m (66 ft) or more have not been scientifically documented.[3]

These are likely purpleback flying squid and apparently the race found in the Red Sea get particularly large upwards of 6ft or more, also Humboldt squid are not native to this region, they are named after the Humboldt currents which occur along the coast of South America

@stinkyfungus 6 ай бұрын

I was wondering about that. I was certain the Humbolt was exclusively a eastern pacific species, ranging from Terre del Fuego to California. Suposedly, there have been some observations of the squid in waters north of California, they appear to be spreading up the eastern pacific

epic haha they even have nicknames like diablos rojos but i think the most scariest part about them isn't their size but their tentacles. saw in Sir David Attenborough's show where the tentacles just shot out hundreds of hooks to grab the fish. you weren't kidding talking about how aggressive these squids r! that underwater shot of the hook up was sick as too!
