[quote="Unknown_Sniper":17da4]no they havent. They found a dead child colossal squid but they estimated it was half the size of an adult one.[/quote:17da4]
[quote:17da4]# 1981- A Russian trawler in the Ross Sea, off the coast of Antarctica, caught a large squid (see image at beginning of article) with a total length of 4 meters (13 feet), which was later identified as an immature female of Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni.
# 2003- A complete specimen was found near the surface with a total length of 6 meters (20 feet) and a mantle length of 2.5 meters (8 feet).
# 2005- A specimen was captured at a depth of 1625 meters while taking a toothfish from a longline off South Georgia Island. Although the mantle was not brought aboard, the mantle length was estimated at over 2.5 m, and the tentacles measured 230 centimeters. The animal is thought to have weighed between 150 and 200 kilograms.[3][/quote:17da4]

They've caught them before, I never said anything about how old it was.
