I certainly can sympathize with your loss. This has happened to me twice over the last two years. In my case, I believe the fish got spooked and was not aware of her position in the pond. Subsequently, they turned and made a direct contact with the wall. Both were dead in a matter of minutes. I too tried to revive them with no luck.

I remember when you bought this fish at Oofuchi's. Russ, Erwin and I were all there at the time. I had bowled her the day before. She was a beautiful fish and well deserving of her stature given at this past SoCal show. She had a very promising future as well.

I wish you and Frank a speedy recovery from this tragic incident.

Regards

Mike
