Yeah i suppose, Its like any other hobby. You want something no one else has to show off. Just like cars or baseball cards, you want the rare one.

I heard about these two fish being collected a few weeks ago because my LFS had an opportunity to get them, but at such a steep price they passed because its tough to move something that expensive in a local market. An example of that is the spanish flag that they currently have thats been there for a couple months, online it probably would have been long gone, but in a local market a fish like that can sit for months and thats a quarter of the price of these bass. Part of the high price of these two bass is attributed to the fact that they were collected by submersible and the cost of operation for the submersible has to be figured into the price of the fish. I could imagine that it probably costs a good deal of money to use a submersible to collect fish so couple the rarity of the fish along with the collector making back the cost of the submersible and there u go. Someone will scoop these guys up they are awesome looking and no one else in the world has one.
