[Video]: James McGauhey Octopus Encounter

Anyone who hasn't looked at the video (at the start of this threa) should take the time and view it. It's a wonderful octopus video. You will learn how untalented octopuses are at video!

Very appropriate music too!

Largest I have seen is 140 lbs dressed. A Victoria, BC commercial harvester took that animal. Largest I have captured myself is 120 lbs dressed (filled two herring roe bags overflowing). A "handfull" (diving alone, winter months, cloudy and sun low so dark down deep) but at least it wasn't loaded with gravel on half it's suckers. Credible report of one around 250 lbs in Gulf of Georgia, I believe it because the ones that feed on swimming scallops have a very abundant and easy to catch food source. Amazing a 36-48 month animal can grow that big.
