Tom Chandler: @Guido: The circumstances surrounding the fish's demise have been pretty exhaustively talked about in a lot of other places (I didn't link to all the conversations about the thing because there were too many).And as Dylan noted, the fish was legally taken, which - in my thinking - is truly the starting point for this whole circus. I thik it weight around 32 lbs fresh and just under 30 lb when officially weighed.
