I missed reporting it when it happened at the end of November, but a group of Indian fishermen caught a rather larger squid than they were expecting:

This rare squid, caught by the fishermen of King Jesus boat, looks like a mini shark. It is about three feet in length and two-and-a-half feet in breadth. 

The location was the port of Malpe, on the Arabian Sea, and the species is undeniably Thysanoteuthis rhombus, the diamondback squid.

T. rhombus is notable for its extremely descriptive Latin name--why yes, it is fairly rhomboid!--and its floating egg masses. They are the only known squid eggs that float near the surface, rather than being attached to the bottom or hovering mid-water, making them by far the easiest to spot from the deck of a ship.

(It should also be noted than many species of shark grow no larger than three feet, making the "mini-shark" comparison a bit of a misnomer.)
