14 feet is still more than twice my own size though...
 
I spearfished almost my entire life. Maybe 15 years ago or so I was diving and spotted a nice octopus and proceeded to grab him. As I fought to control him his mate came out and looked at me like "what the f...k are you doing?". There was so much intellegence in their eyes I found myself feeling guilty. I let the one go and have never tried to harm one again. I've never experienced that feeling shooting fish or collecting lobster....Adventure-Ocean
 
At the other end of the octopus spectrum is this small long armed octopus. The distance between the eyes is only an inch. A young'n for sure.
