GIANT SQUID ATTACK! MARLIN RIPPED TO SHREDS

Filmed way back in the early days of the show, this clip still gets the heart racing whenever we see it. A 250lb striped marlin is torn to bits by an Architeuthis, better known as the legendary Giant Squid. Makes you think twice about going for a swim at night!

There's nothing fake and/or gay about this, we even had one of the world's top Giant Squid experts verify the bite marks as belonging to an Architeuthis.

Looks like a giant squid has eaten it like a cob of corn, just spinning and eating😳

If that was a single squid then I’m never going in the ocean again. That’s a fuck ton of meat stripped off! 😱

This was in the pacific, correct? How close were you to shore? Humboldt Squid have been showing up in large numbers off the coast of California in recent years. They are quite ravenous when hungry, and they often attack in groups.  They have often been called "Giant Squid", as they can be up to 6 feet in length, and there are unconfirmed reports of them reaching 12 feet. They'll attack almost anything, including each other. I believe the Humboldt Squid is a more likely culprit. While the Giant Squid is certainly a vicious and active hunter, they usually don't hunt near the surface, as far as we know.

I was freaked out the whole time, expecting massive tentacules to reach out over the side of the boat and pull somebody off X)

Imagine getting eaten by a giant squid!!!

With less than 5% of our oceans explored how can you guys say it wasn't a giant squid... Seems to be evidence to suggest it quiet possibly was, this guy is no amature fisherman guys

the marlin getting ripped to pieces would have been fine compared to a more unluckier captain in 2003, when Geronimo, a racing yacht got rocked by something underwater and when the captain ordered his boatmate to inspect the damage he saw a 10m long animal stuck to the yacht with tentacles longer than a person, thicker than his legs and with suckers as big as his hand. it was a giant squid. luckily he and his crew got away but with the boat damaged.

Who just said they thought Giant Squid went extinct 50 years ago? I'd reply to your comment, but I don't know how to do that in this new format on YouTube. Whoever you are, you don't seem to know much. You don't get out much, do you? Giant Squid never went extinct. One was filmed last summer in its natural habitat for the first time. Where would you get the idea that they were extinct?

[UltimateFishingTV]

Mate, you're so far off the mark it's not funny. Tour guide? The day they start running 'Tours' to the Wanganella Banks let me know. And Jump Cuts? Do you know the definition of a jump cut? Or do you just mean a cut in general?

[Tomaszeks]

@XYGTHOP3 Exactly mate! First thing that springs to mind...

[andrewbowen]

Wow the comments on here lol. Fishing into the night a time when Squid do come up from the deep to me this is pretty obviously the work of a giant squid a creature so elusive but not uncommon and it’s only predator the Sperm Whale.

AHHH THE SQUIDS GOT MARLINS THEY'RE AFTER SKY NEXT WE GOTTA HELP!!

[MoodsOfDennisHD]

The squids are getting smarter you must help sky!!

[lesteraizlewood]

When Sperm whales were harpooned and brought ashore they sometimes had the big round sucker marks around their head from the giant squid and beak bites. Occasionally a squid was still in the whales stomach.

this was just on last night on the Discovery Channle

the torn marks I think is a cooker cutter shark...

[nealjolly]

Now just think if that had been a human swimming, because of some shit luck accident and was trying to swim to safety. Scary and all to real.
