National Geographic did a show on the Humboldt squid about a year ago. A team of divers wanted to study their feeding habits. They were told by local fisherman that they could be very agressive when being fished, as you said.
It was eerie to see them rise from the depths at night and go into a frenzy when feeding, not only would they attack each other, some to the point of death but a few even attacked the divers. I imagine their sharp beaks could take a nice little chunk out of you.
