Most dead fish never float. What is the name of your pet fish? Does she have distinctive markings? Nothing personal, I am a scientist and routinely push back on anecdotal evidence that conflicts with documented evidence. That said, we all can learn new things. A friend caught a 6.4lb LMB out of my pond in hot weather. He kept it and ate it because I knew it had a poor chance of survival after the fight in hot water. He caught another a year later and I did the same thing. Don't think it was the same fish.
