Yeshua and 153 fishes

[Burning one]

So....we can find out his miracle in John 21. He spread the net and caught 153 fishes.

I searched the Aramaic scripture and found it was written as "one hundred and fifty and three".

Anyway, what does that mean???? This might be the strangest number in Bible ever.

i'm no fisherman by any means, and i don't know the specifics of trammel nets, but i read somewhere that 153 fishes would not have been a noteworthy catch. so there has got to be something more to it. i've heard various explanations via gematria, ie, beney haEloheem--sons of Elohim, machamadayhem--precious things, cheelqeeYah--Yah's portion, but i'm still left wondering that there is more to be gleaned than a mere numeric value.
