They had a show on The Discovery Channel, or The Learning Channel that was exploring the possibility of seeing a giant squid alive in it;s natural environment, and they showed an oarfish that was at least 25 feet long (maybe longer).
It seems that they are a deep water fish that we only see at the coast when they are dying and the currents push them onto the beach. It amazes me that fish species that we never knew existed can be swimming under you boat.
Remember the ceolocanth? A fish that was supposed to be extinct? Well, they found schools of these prehistoric fish in the oceans of the orient.
What a world!!!
