I observed a very large squid tied to the side of a Japanese fishing boat in the port of Yokohama many years ago. I think it had to be at least 25 feet long...

The French would make good squid food.

I don't think so. Squid like fresh food, not stuff that SMELLS.

Sounds like a whale of a tale.

Veteran yachtsman Oliver de Kersauson, at the helm of the trimaran Geronimo, said the three-hulled boat was hit by strange vibrations....."when we came to a stop the tentacles let go"

Guess that there are some things that even a squid won't eat.

The squid was probably pissed at the french too, otherwise it would have gone for Ellison's boat.
