Me father a seaman during WW1 with HRM Merchant marines. He told me about all of adventures of which there were many. He told me once off the coast of Vietnam towards Malaysia, he was in 60 foot waters he could see the ocean bottom in clear waters. He saw one that scared the HELL out of him! Said it was massive and monstrous. As big as the steam/sail freighter he was on. It followed the ship for days. He said he expected it to attack most likely at night and he was too afraid to sleep. As they went into deeper waters visibility was not very good and the crew lost sight of it. As a child to see father was scared as he told me this story sitting on our front porch, I believed him.

In ‘84 on our way to Puerto Rico from Texas, I was engineer on a tug towing large petroleum barges. I wandered to the wheelhouse early AM and gave the mate a break to perform his necessaries. The moon was up and as I sat watching, a creature sounded next to our vessel. Not a whale but looked more like a gigantic ray as long as the boat(130ft) I could only stare silently open mouthed as this thing glided along with us.I was too stupefied to put the searchlite on and was still in shock when the mate returned.

7:45 - A friend of mine who was part of a submarine crew remarked that there are things down there as big, if not bigger, than their submarine. The neoprene 'boot' on the sonar dome is regularly shredded by things in the deep and they've found those 'sucker teeth' in it that are more than six inches from tip to root... Considering each sucker can have more than a dozen such teeth it is worrying that something that big is down there.

When put in perspective, due to their incredible range of vision and the fact that almost anything in the ocean can be a predator there’s a chance that a entirely different kind of species of squid could exist and with deep sea gigantism and some fish who are unable to reach shallower depths with out potentially dying from drops in pressure there could be squids even larger than the classes of giant and colossal squid we have documented on top of not knowing how long they can live we give their growth range a mean range based on potential growth and documented size leaving us unable to fully gauge the full size or potential size of a squid and combined with predators, disease, and biological specifications it would be extremely rare to see most marine animals reach full size or even die of age in the wild. Basically natures true mystery

@Michael T. Scott I think there are claims to be made of several animals out competing dolphins. It really depends on what you're comparing to. Sailfish are almost twice as fast. Humpback whales are considered the most complicated from a social perspective. Octopuses may be the fastest to develop and best puzzle solvers. Cuttlefish are considered to be among the most intelligent invertebrates. Even when considering the purposeful cruelty displayed by dolphins, squid match that. They're called red devils, and they're highly social and sadistic.

Sonars can be very loud, and by very loud I mean they can generate slow-rolling sound waves topping out at around 235 decibels. For comparison the world's loudest rock bands top out at only 130. Not all sonars are so loud, but it is safe to say that they can kill people at great distances when they are producing that sound. Now, squids don't have typical ears, but squid and other cephalopods detect sounds via paired structures, called statocysts, located in the head, so if that sonar was producing very loud sound maybe that was the reason why the squid "attacked" that ship and damaged that plastic wrapping around the sonar.

I don't know why I was spared, but suddenly I seen a school of dolphins that was near by and I swam close enough so I could grab hold of their dorsal fins, and they swam towards inland, I was close enough so I could make it to shore on my own, that was the last time I ever went out on any body of water, not even a lake, I spent most of my life fishing the ocean making a living, and we had a lot of close calls, but never any casualties, there are so many species that is unknown to man in the vastness of the ocean.

In the discussion of the Humboldt squid, he suggested they possibly go into suspended animation to cope with the extreme temperatures of Arctic water depths. That suggests it would be essentially inert but that makes no sense. They would be extremely vulnerable to predators and going in and out of a state of suspended animation daily, as he reported they rise to the surface every evening to feed, would be a horribly inefficient use of calories. Further, although he mentioned it in his list of theories on how they survive the cold, despite elaborating on others, he failed to even touch on any proposition this theory asserts. Although, clearly this channel is not the KZfaq version of Scientific American, I found this a disappointing inclusion to an otherwise generally accurate discussion of these cephalopods.

They would be going into suspended animation very deep down where predators dont exist. When theyre not going up to feed they are deeper than any whale could ever go.

Whom ever writes these fiction stories has quite the imagination. Very entertaining. Could you do one on big foot in the mountains of North Carolina? I know a big foot abducted by space aliens and then arrested by the military for debriefing before being released.

I think weight should be the deciding factor when it comes to squids measuring the length of the creature based on tentacles would be like saying Bugs Bunny is six-foot-five because of his ears

I expected you to talk about a FISH, not about SQUID. While what you said about squid was good, the title of the video is VERY misleading.

Served on the Stein in the 80's. Biggest piece of crap in the Navy, a perpetual hard luck ship mostly known for suicides. We were known as "The Stain" because our stack leaked and we had a big sh1t stain down the stack. Makes total sense it was attacked by a giant squid.

When did this happen?, Cause I used to be on the Stein back in the late 80's and I'm curious, was it before or after I was stationed aboard her?.

I suppose you can hunt giant squids, but the human hunters must have proper equipment like harpoons and swords and work in teams to cover each other's back, just in case the hunting missions are compromised (i.e., to end up in a loss of life.)

Those scratch marks are not made by Giant Squid, they are made by Colossal Squid. Giant Squid have suckers on their tentacles but colossal squid have basically meat hooks instead of suckers and because giant squid don’t have meat hooks the scratches can only come from a colossal squid which by the way are bigger than giant squid. There is a famous video on KZfaq of one that attacked the side of this big fishing vessel and they caught it using big gaffs (long poles with insanely sharp bill hooks on the end).
