I traveled to Jordan in the Middle East to go fishing for Giant Squid. These dangerous creatures are very mysterious, and I wanted to learn how to catch them. Dr. Marwan is an expert at catching Giant Squid, so I joined him on his boat, searching for these monsters. We were fishing in the Gulf of Aqaba, a branch of the Red Sea. These are ancient waters surrounded by four different nations. We were fishing in over 2,000ft (700 meters) of water using electric Penn reels. I can't believe I caught a Giant Squid in the Middle East!

The knowledge and experience of Doc is insane, the fact that he could tell just strictly off the rod that 2 squids were attacking each other is absolutely nutty.
Completely agree. His knowledge of fishing is truly unique…like a surgeon
Unbelievable hospitality over there it seems. Doc couldn't have been a nicer guy.
❤
When the guy that said thats nomle I was like no
It’s true! They are the nicest people and they have pride in their country!
Arab hospitality is unmatched….. Even as foreigner they want you to be apart of the home

Man can we just take a minute to give appreciation to Morwan his energy and vibes are just amazing love ppl like that who just have a natural likeable humor and personality
No. We cannot. Laughing at a dying squid is not funny. Yes, many people eat fish, etc, but their is no reason to "HAHA he is dying" There is this thing call humane kills, then there is this thing call inhumane kills. Halal is one of the inhumane kills. Laughing at something dying is also inhumane. There are options to "dispatch" or quick kill animals, fish etc. So you want to vibe over these likeable humor and personality traits? Clearly this is made more apparent from footage on services like youtube. So have a laugh and enjoy the video...

@@spaaggetii Orrrrr.... You could have your own beliefs while recognizing other people are just as entitled to their own, even if you don't like them.
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.
❤
Thanks for making the journey to Jordan! Great catch Brother 🙌
Ma sha'Allah, Dr. Marwan was predecting the behaviors and what's happening just as if he was reading the back of his hand ... Where the squids are, the sizes, the numbers, the sward fish.. everything... Great angler and amazing trip. Great work guys ❤
So amazing to see Josh back on the water doing what he loves. Great to see you healthy again. Amazing video!
Dude, seeing you having so much fun made my day❤
I'm so unbelievably happy to see you back in your element! Love your content and wish you continued health and happiness. You're the man, BlacktipH!
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]
Glad you know your stuff. The Humboldt Squid is a big species, but not like a Giant or Colossal Squid.
So glad to see you back! Great video, Looks like a fun trip!
Welcome to Jordan!! I’m happy you enjoyed your time there. Jordan is beautiful and the people are extremely hospitable. Fishing is amazing in the Red Sea! That’s next on the bucket list.
Josh .. I'm so damn glad you have brought back some super quality clips for fishos around the world .. bless you mate and good health for as long as your clock continues to tick!
What an excellent host and guide. Amazing local knowledge and confidence!
Great to see you back out there Josh!
It's great to see you feeling better and out doing really cool stuff. Catching squid in Jordan is a new one to me. Awesome. I would definitely rather catch them in Baja Mexico but I'm glad you showed them over there.
Amazing video Josh. Good to see you out and having fun doing what you love. Very happy for you. Jordan and amazing and Dr Marwan is a gem of a guy. ❤
Welcome back Josh 💯 this warms my heart to see you out fishing again 💯 big love ✊️
So good to see you back fishing Josh!! What a fighter!!! Good luck out there my friend
You guys are so amazing the things you do for your viewers is insane!
glad to see you are doing well, and fishing again, josh!!!!
I am enjoying the video, but not appreciating how many times the Humboldt squid are called "giant squid". It's like fishing for needle fish and calling them "Swordfish"
Literally same
Man can we just take a minute to give appreciation to Morwan his energy and vibes are just amazing love ppl like that who just have a natural likeable humor and personality ❤❤
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?
Loved the captain! What a fun smart guy!
❤❤
Super great to see you back man! This was awesome!
always makes me wonder what other giant creatures are in the ocean...
So glad to see you getting back to your self Josh! Keep doing you buddy!
I'm so glad to see you back doing what you love and feeling strong. ❤
BTHF. You made an amazing recovery. I'm glad to see you back out in action .💪😎🤙

My man Josh going kraken snaggin’ 😂 That squid jig you made is some serious gear. I just wanted to thank you for getting me back into fishing. I’ve been having a really hard time in life lately and your enthusiasm for fishing is contagious in the best way. Let me know if you are ever in NM let’s get on some trout.

Good to see you back out there living life!
Calamari for the year!! I really enjoy your enthusiasm. It's contagious. 😊
How clear underwater is, all those squid’s, the squid’s changing color 🔥🔥
Glad to see your back on the water Josh.. God is good my friend..
So happy your back Josh. Best channel on the internet
Marwan is such a chill guy
I live on the East Coat of Australia where we have some of the most venomous snakes and spiders in the world along with giant great white sharks roaming our beaches but the thought of being munched by giant squid at night is WAAAAY more terrifying
Love you josh been watching you since I was 2 and good job surviving cancer😊
GREAT VIDEO, I WAS WAITING ON THIS ONE,
Love you Marwan my inspiration
One of the best BlacktipH videos ive ever watched
I’m so glad you’re doing well and back to what you love doing. Top 3 video of yours for sure!
Doc is the best!!!
I was in Aqaba in 2010. I want to go back so bad. Nicest people I’ve met in all my travels.
Doc is chillest dude
I just ate too much chocolate.
Same
Finally
same but with cake
Crazy
I love how random that was
Literally vocalizing my thoughts about Petra. “This is just… I don’t even understand how they made that.” 🤣
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.
Love to see you back out on the water bro stay strong 🫶
Marwon is a legend!
It is so good to see you after the biggest monsters in the sea, the old guy is so cool.
Josh gets so excited he sounds just like a little guuurrrrrllll! BETA!!
Good to see you back squiding with a side of fishing Josh.
i dont see myself going to the middle east anytime soon...
When I was in the Marines I went to Jordan on ship it was beautiful...went to Petra and swam in the sea ..it was so salty I couldn't sink it was crazy but amazing
Im sure this was amazing. Doc seems like an awesome guy
Josh welcome back
Thank you! 🙌
These are likely purpleback flying squid and apparently the race found in the Red Sea get particularly large upwards of 6ft or more, also Humboldt squid are not native to this region, they are named after the Humboldt currents which occur along the coast of South America
I was wondering about that. I was certain the Humbolt was exclusively a eastern pacific species, ranging from Terre del Fuego to California. Suposedly, there have been some observations of the squid in waters north of California, they appear to be spreading up the eastern pacific
Glad to see you back josh ♥️
fresh calamari for days, nice video
you gotta get back out there and get the monster, how fun and such a great captain too
Amazing. Total bucket list
Awesome Josh ... your an inspiration
Great video , amazing to see that type of fishing !
Amazing content , mind blowing images!
Glad to see you back and healthy!
Awesome job Josh for beating cancer and getting back to fishing love your content come back to Michigan sometime and let’s go for muskies
The excitement was priceless❤
Incredible vids josh
Dr Marwan is an amazing guy
What a cool guy man! Hopefully he can go out to the US and fish with you sometime
Really cool to see you travel the world, and not only fishing for game, but education and conservation.
Love your videos sooooooo much 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So happy to see he's doing well and out living his best life
Marwan is hysterical dudes constantly snacking and his flat Middle East humor is great
Wow... First video I have watched on this channel. That looked amazing... Amazing animal, amazing place, amazing guide. I was impressed with the size of the swordfish too. Makes me want to go fishing for more than my rainbow, speckled, and brown trout 😂
Glad to hear your better Josh!!
Josh! I'm a huge fan love you and your videos! It's a dream of mine to go ocean fishing, I wish I could go fishing with you for a couple hours 😭 I'd pay for my flight and everything even though I don't have much right now😭
