Re: NFC: An introduced fish....


	I apologize I should have given more details. The fish on the site
listed is largest caught on a hook in some kind of fishing contest with
specific rules. (they disallowed a larger fish which was caught on a lure
six inches longer than allowed). For details, see the web page cited.

	While big, the fish on the page listed may not be the biggest as
Guiness's Book of Records may see it :) ...
