Guest Andrea Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Saturday we went bass fishing. I was on the front of the boat standing up and noticed something in the water in front of me. I thought it was a gator. It was a sturgeon!!! I've never seen one swimming before. You always hear them popping the water or catch a split second glance at them as they jump up. This one wasn't scared of us at all. The water was clear and VERY shallow. We estimated that this one probably was around 100 pounds. We probably won't see this again in our lifetimes.

Guest Andrea Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Re: Amazing pics/video [ QUOTE ] Why didn't you catch it??????? [/ QUOTE ] Well another reason why these pics and this video are so unique is because this fish is on the endangered species list for Florida. They would have put us UNDER the jail for messing with it. Besides, even if they weren't endangered, I'd leave it alone. Don't think they'd be very good to eat. Think the only part people used to kill them for was their eggs anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
