Anybody know what ever happened to this one? Supposed to have been delivered to mark Norman...

The reason I'm asking is that this appears to have a ML close to 2,25 meters, the current "official" record... Could be perspective distortion, obviously, bringing it closer to 2 meters... I would just like to know for sure.

nice specimen, but i'm affraid by the deep fishing .... the good news, we will see more specimens, the very bad news : extinction of numerous deep species are in way ....
