A big 'un - about 3 metres with arms extended.
Two videographers say they were left speechless after an incredible encounter with a giant Pacific octopus in Nanoose bay on Vancouver Island.
The cinematic moment was captured on camera, when the octopus assumed the role of director.
"It came out and fully took over my camera," said John Roney, an underwater videographer and documentary film editor.
"It gave us this nice inside view of all of its suckers under its arms, and it was even kind enough to turn it off after three minutes of filming."
