Florida's season of "sturgeon strikes" -- law enforcement's term for collisions between the state's largest freshwater fish and hapless boaters — has begun on the Suwannee River.

sturgeon are joining alligators and hurricanes on the list of things to dread in Florida.

Sturgeon make the list of dreadful things in Florida but are still well below Jeb Bush, Katherine Harris, her plastic surgeon and Niceville in term of the dread-factor.

Be Well.

So what? Boating is dangerous, so is fishing. If you don't have something in front of you to block flying projectiles, then you are fair "game"!

This reminds me of years ago when a barricuda or two inflicted bite damage to a couple of anglers. Next thing you know they are being portrayed in the press as dangerous! Leave it to a writer who knows nothing about the subject to which he writes, to distort the story for sensationalism. BTW Cuda's are only dangerous if you try to reel one in, they just might launch themselves at you...with their teeth showing!!

Next thing you know we'll be warned that morey eels might bite you (if your stupid enough to pet them)

There are signs warning you about the sturgeon.

PAY ATTENTION!


Happy 4th!

anybody else see the cnn report on the asian carp problem in the mississippi river a few weeks ago? they submerged electrodes to get the fish jumping I think but it was pretty funny seeing the cnn reporter get hit by 30lb carp @ 30 mph, smacked that mofo down

thank god for youtube, here's the vid

www.youtube.com

Jumping sturgeon is pretty cool, I would love to get on a boat and take some pics...And if one decides to jump in the boat, the sturgeon is more than welcome to do so...lol

Let's start advertising that eating Asian carp makes your hair grow, improves your sex life and makes you lose weight. We'd see an end to that fish problem right quick!

ya, that might work... carp can be pretty tastey fish if it's cooked right.. but there's a lot of people that see it for what it is .. a bottom feeder. same thing with cat fish, but the people that complain about catfish & carp seem to have no problem with lobsters and stuff like that, too bad I guess. Carp isn't that bad of a dinner fish...

i'd eat carp first if that was the choice between it and salmon. It's all about the taste.

Man that was a great youtube vid. Those are big and easy to catch. I bet a commercial market can be made for those fish. Strangely, I have no sympathy for the boaters or motorers

You should see what they do when you hook 'em!

If someone tells you that they don't fight, they don't know what they are talking about.


" Dr. Pine would like to see speed limits on sections of river where sturgeon congregate. The state has imposed such limits along miles of "manatee protection zones," but with fierce objections from boaters who say the restriction spoils their fun.

Some irate boaters have called the wildlife commission and railed against sturgeon, Ms. Parker said, even asking the state to "kill all of them so people can enjoy the river."

Spoil their fun...

Kill all of them so people can enjoy the river...

People suck!!


The descent continues...
