Never took a shot at a trophy. 1. Because those shots are rare. 2. But also, I like keeping them in the gene pool...though not sure of the science. However, I'm guessing sentimentality is not too common in commercial fishing area. btw, the squid may have been dead already. If you have ever fished deep, you know that bladders burst, eyes pop, etc. as the air in an animal expands as it gets closer to the surface. Assume squids, like fish suffer this way too. Sorry for the graphic. I agree, Jodi,

I love fried calamari. I just hate that that thing lived to get that big, just to get the shaft. I mean what is the point. they could have tagged him and watched him grow even bigger!

I think I read on the squid blog that in a squid that size, the calamari would have a very amonia-heavy taste. I'm guessing it would be a little more chewy than normal, too!
