making a recovery.

I have yet to taste Sturgeon caviar...

That fish looks like it could feed Russia. That fish does not show rebound, that fish shows how long it has survived!. r.w.landau

RW. That is a young sturgeon!

They have been known to live 100 years and grow to a half ton in the Colombia River. Some species are marine, e.g., the Atlantic sturgeon Acipenser oxyrhyncus; some ascend rivers to spawn; and some (the largest of inland fish) are found in landlocked waters. The largest species is the Russian sturgeon, or beluga ( A. huso ), of the Caspian and Black seas; it reaches a length of 13 ft (396 cm) and a weight of up to a ton (900 kg). The Pacific sturgeon ( A. transmontanus ) may weigh over half a ton (450 kg) and attain a length of 12 ft (366 cm). The green sturgeon is a smaller Pacific variety, and the common sturgeon is found in coastal waters and rivers of Europe and E North America. Other American species are the rock, or lake, sturgeon ( A. fulvescens ) of the Great Lakes and the Mississippi valley and the shovel-nosed sturgeon, or hackleback ( Scaphirhynchus platorynchus; 3 ft/91 cm), also of the Mississippi valley. http://www.encyclopedia.com/html/s/sturgeon.asp

Good thing it was a small sturgeon,

and not a 12 footer like they caught in the Fraser river near Vancouver last week. :)

R.W. Just go to the most upscale grocery

store in pittsburg and look on the shelf of party foods. It will be behind the glass doors with the lock on them. ;)

Just another example of the animal conspiracy...:)

Comedian Tim Bedore has covered this subject - it's all about how the animal kingdom is out to get us. (Funny stuff. ;) ) http://www.vaguebuttrue.com/genius.htm See "The Other Animals Are Agin' Us" Dave Crowley h-26 Wind Dreamer

R.W. I am afraid that you don't live on one

of the primary spawning rivers for sturgeon. I think that you may have to relocate to a coastal river. ;)
