Well, assuming a pogie has a slightly higher specific gravity of sea water (let's say 70 pounds per cubic foot, minus 10% because they don't stack perfectly) that's still about 16,000 cubic feet of fish.
According to my quick calculation that's an entire football field of fish filled over a yard deep.
Considering that a pogie is mostly oil, which is lighter than sea water, my calculations could be off, but that would only make the pile of fish deeper.
