This may be the biggest squid ever caught, but there is, in the Museum of Natural History, in South Kensington, London, a model of one found dead on the beach in Northumbria, UK, which is close to twice that size. Incidentally there was a dead whale just along the beach from the squid, and covered in sucker marks.
