Now I understand that "jumbo flying squid" is another name for Humbolt squid when I checked around online. This is pretty far from their expected range but I found reference to these squid being found in Alaska too.
If this is true, where someone caught 3 of these in RI waters, maybe there will be more....who knows?

My Sunday paper, Providence Journal shows a picture of a scientist in North Kingstown, RI disecting a 6 foot long squid they identified as "jumbo flying squid". The write up stated that a fisherman caught 3 of these squid off Block Island, RI.

Extremely strange catch. But, people have caught tarpon in Narragansett Bay, so nothings impossible.

However, Giant Squid are supposed to be world wide. And that's all I know about them.
