This is from an old Monsterquest episode from 2007.
They replayed this footage in a new episode I watched two days ago,
where they were trying to film this giant a second time.

When I first watched this in the 2008 episode,
I thought this was footage taken from underneath their boat. XD
And in thinking that, I freaked out a bit.
For most people, if that thing was swimming under their boat, it would be time to get the hell out of there.
Turns out it was from the back of a Humboldt squid, about 1000 feet under the water. See, that's much better. XD

Still, wow! They say that the squid they filmed is probably about 60 feet long.
It's the biggest squid to ever be caught on film,
and I think it's also the first giant squid to be seen alive.
Very cool! But just a tad bit scary.
