Sometimes if abysmal fish come up over a certain depth their air bladder doesn't work any more and they can't get back down, causing death.

Sometimes I feel like that fish...

Amazing. Apparently they do come to the surface when sick or dying.

We get them off the CalCoast fairly regularly and then they end up in the LACO Natural History Museum . . . in a tank of preservative. What a horrible reward for your karma!

WTF! WTF! that thing looks like the lochness monster

Same here, they seem to want to destroy themselves on surfacing, a very majestic fish. Hope this is legible:
