They baited hooks with small squid and shrimp pulp and suspended cameras above them. The giant squid that appeared, at a depth of some 3,000 feet [900 m], is estimated to have measured about 25 feet [8 m] in length.
Nad panid peibutiseks konksude otsa väikseid kalmaare ja krevetimassi ning riputasid kõige selle kohale kaamerad. 900 meetri sügavusel kohale ilmunud hiidkalmaar on arvestuste järgi umbes 8 meetrit pikk.
