P(first fish caught weighs more than 20 kg|at least 8 of 15 weigh more than 20 kg) =
P(first fish caught weights more than 20 kg and at least 8 of 15 weigh more than 20 kg)/P(at least 8 of 15 weigh more than 20 kg) =
P(first fish caught weights more than 20 kg and at least 7 of 14 others weigh more than 20 kg)/P(at least 8 of 15 weigh more than 20 kg) =
P(first fish caught weights more than 20 kg and at most 7 of 14 others weigh less than or equal to 20 kg)/P(at most 7 of 15 weigh less than or equal to 20 kg)
1 - .78 = .22
.78 * binom.dist(7,14,.22,1)/binom.dist(7,15,.22,1) = .7826
