My friend and I were swimming in the ocean. It was sort of like a giant eel. This was about 50 foot long. We seen the same thing about 2 days later in the same location. It ate my friend. Kicking and screaming my friend went to fish heaven. When I was a boy, I seen this huge snake like fish. My friend and I were swimming in the ocean. It was sort of like a giant eel.

An extremely large creature came under the 40 footy acht I was on board - 2am off Portuguese coast june 94 - a large squib-like animal at least a body length 100 plus feet long and 30 foot diameter with large tenticles. Diamond meshed outline red coloured bioluminescent like a net gave shape of body continuously changed tone of red. Bright bioluminescence glow in water arround the tenticled area. Came to surface and dived both vertical trajectory at great speed. This was a squid with a mantle length arround 100 feet maybe 150 feet (It was angled down at say 30 degrees to the sea surface so difficult to tell - 2 to 3 times length of yacht plus tentacles). I now have to be a believer as I have seen this creature which was as large or larger than the largest whale on earth. If only I had a camera to hand at the time!

But then I realized that they totally kept it and killed it. Life is supposed to have that cinematic moment where the fisherfolks and the rustic captain with a beard cry just a little in awe and proclaim that they have no right to keep such a majestic creature and let 'er slip back into the ocean. And 20,000 leagues under the sea she will rejoin her friends and family and while they curse and vow revenge on the fisherfolks, the giant squid will secretly respect the captain (cut to shot of captain staring wistfully into the fog while gently caressing a picture of his dead wife). yep...disappointed.

Photo was a just a bonus but figured you probably already had one in a picture-frame beside your bed…..
