It's not a common fish. Prehistoric.

It's not a common fish. Prehistoric.

It isn't an uncommon fish, I believe the "story" here is that it was 7'.

Oh wait, it's CNN, so maybe the "story angle" is that the sturgeon came from the ocean and maybe knows where the wreck of that Malaysian Air flight is and they are trying to do an interview.

The Sturgeon wore a mask and told all the other fish in the sea that it was beyond heckling.

I give you this mountain, this art, and you heckle me? I'm Sturgeon motherfucking West!

This is nothing, it is normally much bigger than this. The pic was from just after being released from the net. However, pics of its peak form remain elusive.

It's nothing compared with those whales, posted by Bradisani in the Random Pictures thread.

At first glance I thought this said SURGEON...

What's the point of this?  Tons of sturgeon where I live.

I think it's due to this particular body of water having been totally void of the species for quite some time now.  Hopefully it will make a comeback to those waters.

I think this thread is using euphemisms to ridicule CalvinH.

This is even cooler. One of the rarest sharks was caught, the Goblin Shark.




Rare Goblin Shark Caught By American Shrimp Fisherman

This fisherman's catch is goblin up the headlines.

A Florida shrimper accidentally caught an incredibly rare Goblin Shark off the coast of Key West, Florida, on April 19, according to the Houston Chronicle.

"I didn't even know what it was," fisherman Carl Moore said. "I didn't get the tape measure out because that thing's got some wicked teeth, they could do some damage."

Instead, Moore snapped some quick photos and threw the shark back in the ocean.

Moore didn't report the find to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration until Thursday. According to the NOAA, the 18-foot-long shark is only the second ever seen in the Gulf. It is "one of the rarest species of sharks," according to NOAA.

Goblin sharks are most commonly found off the coast of Japan, the Chronicle reports. They are "pinkish white" in color with bluish fins, according to NOAA.
