The Colossal Squid is actually shorter than the Giant Squid, but with a larger head. They're nearly the same size. That shark was 10 ft long. Wikipedia says that scientists agree that giant squids can get up to 45 feet or so, with a 7 or 8 foot mantle. The beak is less than half the width of the mantle, which you can see in photos, narrows greatly at the mouth area - so the maximum beak size couldnt be more than a foot around. That bite on the shark is at least two, if not three, feet across, i'd say, given that they say that shark is 10 feet long.
