michaelrdoyle@gmail.com Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 From SMH Fisherman on a trawler have caught a huge squid off Victoria's south-west coast. The crew of the vessel, called Zeehaan, caught the 5.5-metre-long squid about 40 kilometres south-west of Portland around 6pm last night. They captured the catch in a trawl net at a depth of 556 metres. The creature, which was still alive when caught, is thought to weigh about 250 kilograms.
