what a shame his life came to an end in this way.
at least the scientist might get some knowlage from the body

so was this fish dead and 100 years old and its body had somehow been pickled in the sea or something, or was it actually alive at 100 years old?

looks freaky

 

[The-Wolf]

was alive when caught in the net
prob died as a result of being brought up to the surface

Very cool fish. Incredible how old it was. Makes you wonder how long it takes them to get that big...

 

[Danno]

At least his body went to science so we can know more about the habbitat and the biology

 

[Bozza]

He was an ugly devil, but twas sad that he died that way.

they should have tried to keep him alive( not saying they didnt), and let him go after they took studies.

 

[Danno]

But it died on "impact". Their would be no way of keeping it alive.

I didnt know that he died on impact.
