Attempts to retrieve the fish were stopped at noon yesterday. The fishing tool could not be released from the fish again and so explosives were placed at 2056 m depth last night. The fish was successfully blasted at 00:45 am. Part of the fish, which extends down to 2055 m depth was successfully retrieved this morning (6 collars). The detonation had ripped up the collar 2 m above the connection to the cross-over sub, but the connection between sub and collar had been unscrewed by the detonation as calculated.
