Yes, a live colossal squid has indeed been caught in Alaska under an iceberg that was as big as Texas! Yes, a live one was caught by Japanese marine biologists two years ago, but they killed it in the process by dragging it up from its natural environment. By the time the squid was photographed it was already dying. Also, New Zealand fisherman caught a colossal squid in Antarctic waters.
