It's a boat-load of fish! This is the story where Jesus takes Peter (and his fishing partners, I assume) out in their boats to the middle of the lake and tells them to let down their nets. Peter says, "Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing...but I will do as You say and let down the nets." Peter never struck me as a super submissive man, so his willingness to submit to Jesus here is remarkable. They ended up getting so many fish their nets began to break, and when they got the fish into the boats, the boats began to sink.
Here's my thought, though: do I really want to have an 8' square canvas on the church wall with just a bunch of dead fish on it? I'm not so sure about this one!
