Nice fish, Eh? Is the 244# weight with or without the ice encrusting the fish?

The fishermen will be able to keep the roughly 170 pounds of meat that came off the halibut, the rest goes to research. Fascinating story of freshwater ice over seawater in a fjord holding an isolated strain of Atlantic halibut. Fish on, you hoser.
