This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

The meat from the captured fish was later served up to tourists at the lake.
Oh my... you just better not piss anyone off in that village!

My guess is that the fish is not a Perch at all but more like a Lake Trout or Mackinaw Trout (Salvelinus namaycush, family Salmonidae).
The article said that the fish may have been suffering from a "hormone imbalance."
I shall refrain from commenting about that.
Anyway, about a year or so ago, a mysterious fish turned up in Utah (I think it was). I was surprised that biologists there could not identify it. I posted a blog article and identified the fish as a Snakehead.
ASIAN SNAKEHEAD
Temperament : Very aggressive/predacious
Distribution : Asia & South East Asia
People obtain them, usually illegally to put in an aquarium. After they eat everything, they are released into local ponds, etc..

I posted all this extra, non-related information for one reason.
To show off.
"Perch" my b(ass).

Maybe it had fishy-gigantism! Don't call him fat, though. He's just big boned.

Wow, a two foot monster! Must have been a guppy.
Well, maybe the attacked swimmers were dangling their "worm" in the water and asking for trouble. Or a little slippage out of the Speedo. It is Europe, after all.

That's a perch ?
OMGoodness I have never seen a perch like that before !
I guess even fish suffer from hormones and PMS =( .

PMS
Would that be Perch Menstrual Syndrome?

If its a Perch then the hormones that are put intot he water are effecting the natural environment. Look up all the chemicals, birth control and prozac in the water...and we wonder why 50 years ago 1 in 75 people died of cancer, now its 1 in 3...
