Do not kill me but:
The giant squid (Architeuthis dux) is a species of deep-ocean dwelling squid in the family Architeuthidae. It can grow to a tremendous size, offering an example of abyssal gigantism: recent estimates put the maximum size at around 12 13 m (39 43 ft)[2][3][4][5] for females and 10 m (33 ft)[3] for males, from the posterior fins to the tip of the two long tentacles (longer than the colossal squid at an estimated 9 10 m (30 33 ft, [6] but substantially lighter, as the tentacles make up most of the length[7]. The mantle of the giant squid is about 2 m (6 ft 7 in) long (more for females, less for males, and the length of the squid excluding its tentacles (but including head and arms) rarely exceeds 5 m (16 ft. [3] Claims of specimens measuring 20 m (66 ft) or more have not been scientifically documented. [3]

Well I have watched many an episode of BlacktipH but this one was epic. Such beautiful scenery of the Gulf of Aqaba and the good doctor is a real gentleman and fisherman. Glad to see you're doing well Josh. Steve from Scotland.

So happy to see you out and about doing what you love again. I went to Jordan once while working overseas, I didn't get to fish but went to the dead sea and floated. Did you eat any of that XXXL Calamari?

These squid are supposed to be really common in the Sea of Cortez, I'm surprised you didn't go there since its closer. I cant wait to see someone catch the giant squid that sperm whale eat.

Ever heard of black cat ghost hooks? I think a cable set up of those put along the sides of a (life) bait squid could help hooking them and getting a monster

What a backwards way to anchor a boat. Get an electric motor or use that 40000 Yamaha on the back to keep you in the zone.
