This giant squid was caught near Japan using a smaller squid as a lure. The 20-plus-foot female is one of the first giant squid ever seen alive. It died during capture, but gives researchers a chance to get a rare, close-up look at the elusive creature. What a sight to behold! For more pictures, and the rest of the story, you can visit the Discovery Channel website.
I was just thinking about you and wandered by to say hello. I have not had much time to read blogs lately. I hope you had a great Christmas and a great 2007.
Unbelievable! I will never look at calamari the same way again! You have such interesting posts. BTW, you had mentioned our DD6's penpaling each other...it was awhile back...if you ever want to start this, let me know. Maybe in January sometime?
Wow! My husband (a former commercial fisherman) was VERY interested in the pictures and story. Gotta tell you again, I love your posts!!!
Happy New Year

I just wanted to stop by and wish you and your family the happiest and most blessed of new years! I've certainly enjoyed your blog in the old one. Thanks for sharing.
HI,
We had a giant squid pass by on the edge of our beach a few years back. The Coast Guard helicopter flew ahead of the squid and warned everyone to get out of the water. It was about 16 feet long! The second copter was keeping up with it and was moving very rapidly across the water. It was very exciting.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
In Him; Elton
Since we don't have the "friends" feature on HSB anymore, I'm behind on my friends! So here I am clicking each name individually and playing catch up. Great to read you again, I can learn so much from your blog
