The biggest ever Octopus found (A Colossal Octopus) was caught off the coast of New Zealand.

Marine biologist Dr Steve O'Shea estimates the specimen, which was damaged when fished up, would have measured four metres(13 feet) in length and weighed 75 kilograms(154-165 pounds).

This was a "conservative estimate".
