A Vancouver Island resident had the encounter of a lifetime recently when fishing with some friends in the Alberni Inlet.

Port Alberni, B.C., resident Brooke Sattar told Global News they were out setting some prawn traps in late December when one catch unveiled a big surprise.

“We pulled up a big octopus,” she said.

Sattar quickly pulled out her phone to record, barely believing what she was seeing – a huge red-coloured octopus wrapped around the entire trap.

According to the Nature Conservancy of Canada, the northern giant Pacific octopus is the “largest, longest-lived octopus species.”
