I should add that this topic made me take a second look at giant squid data (what can i say, i think they are really interesting creatures). It does appear that large giant squid have been found dead but never seen alive or caught. Those seen in a well documented manor or caught have been around 25ft in length max, while the expected maximum size is around 60ft with the largest dead specimen being about 59ft long, although that was in 1878 so i don't consider it overly reliable data.
