Savage Voyageur: "Very glad he let it go back in the water. They should give this guy the new record. "
Or at least start a C/R category for Lakers.....
The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

WonderMonkey: "yogi59weedr: "I would sure like to see the toxicology report on that fish."
What does that show?"
It shows the amount and types of toxins found in blood/flesh etc. To the poster asking if it would be worse than other fish, the answer is likely yes. Many toxins never leave a fish no matter how long they are there (like chlordane) . If you, or a fish, gets a milligram of chlordane in the system it will still be there 20 years later. The more you or a fish are exposed to, the more you have in you until you finally get cancer. Many toxins build up in the fatty/oily tissues, and lakers have a ton of that and also live a long time. That is likely a very old fish. Not all toxins build up, many are constantly being flushed, so it would depend on pollutants present in that area. That is a monster!
So many fish,so little time
