Very cool find. Octopus actually have a short life cycle. They live for about 2-5 years. That beast you found was at the end of his.

[@erich4441]

Oh so happy to see the octopus , and the seaside is so nice ,can you tell the location ? Many thanks

[@mattlacy3533]

Don’t believe this at all. Octopus like 15 years plus from what I know and have seen.

[@1000guy1]

How do you know octopuses live for 15 years

[@midnitezan]

I might be wrong, but that octopus was probably living the last days of its life. It probably just laid eggs and protected the nest without eating anything. Thus, when you caught it, it isn't that lively and the colors on its skin are fading.

[@wraithchild666]

That was my thoughts too.. In prime condition it would be a lot more of a handful!

You are correct.

Your octopus is dying right now. A very alive octopus would not be taken like that. He would wrap himself around your arms and try to escape. I have already caught a few octopuses but no one has ever behaved like this

That octopus looks like it had just spawned. After they lay eggs, some species essentially clean themselves to death.

He did use a tool to pry it out of where it was hiding. It’s possible it is. Best to dispose of immediately.

octopus is sooo good, in some part of sicily they simply put it into a thermal pool with hot water after euthanasia.

Yes it was a very kind gesture on letting that massive octopus free. I only commented on how you cook it if you wished to have a go of eating one. I didn't mean that you had to eat that pacific one.

[@mikejackson2228]

That was a bred female. It would be fine to keep her, she was already dying. They lay eggs and then protect them, not eating anything, ever again actually, when the eggs hatch the mother slowly dies. That's why it had those large wounds.

[@camclark5355]

I hope that wasn’t a female octopus in her den guarding her eggs. Females commit their lives to protecting them (they won’t leave or feed or anything - they die) till the babies hatch. It seemed very weak and lethargic so that’s why I would suspect that

[@SMASHFISHING]

Very interesting info , I’m not to sure it was very sluggish in the hole , I’m not sure as this was the first time iv found one

Not the best treatment of an octopus there mate. By the looks of it, it was on its way out but holding it up by its head and lobing it into the sea isnt doing it any favours.

It was dieing probably just laid eggs that had hatched.

[@leech976]

im thinking the octopus was a female protecting her clutch under the rocks and she was beginning to pass- im going based on the size, inability of camouflaging/ lack of color and overall body deterioration & lack of strength/ will to fight back

Very interesting thanks 👍

[@rickl1422]

You've got to laugh at some of the octopus 'expert' haters commenting here. 🤦‍♂️ Anyone who has followed Jay on his foraging ventures knows that he's not only very knowledgeable about the many creatures he encounters but also very conscientious. He tries to leave his foraging environment just the way he found it(turning rocks back over when he's done exploring), doesn't keep undersized animals, only keeps what he needs for a good meal, etc. He's also very humble & down-to-earth. By his own admission, he had never foraged an octopus before. There's a learning curve. The appeal of his foraging ventures into the tidepools & beyond is so that we, the audience watching safely from the comfort of our homes or from under a bridge for you trolls, may learn about & marvel at the fascinating creatures he comes across. He pulls them from their hiding spots to show the camera so that we get to see the animal clearly. He'll then often put the animal right back from where he got it, usually no worse for wear. Had he not pulled the octopus out of its hole, we would have just seen the writhing tentacle. That's it! As many have commented, that octopus did not respond like a healthy specimen & may very well have been on its last days or hours. I believe Jay to be a great steward of the environment in which he forages & fishes. People should be a bit less judgmental. Get to know the creator of this video before you spew your hateful comments. He's got plenty of other videos for you to see what I'm talking about.
