craigdritchie Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) Crazy, but true - a Florida woman was injured Monday when a Gulf Sturgeon went airborne on the Suwannee River and landed in her boat, breaking her leg. This marks the fifth time in six weeks that a jumping sturgeon has hit a boat down there. Just when we thought the prospect of getting hit by a 20 pound Asian carp jumping into your boat was scary! Imagine getting hit in the mouth with a 200 pound sturgeon? When you're running at full throttle? Apparently Gulf Sturgeon run up rivers and jump, particularly in summer. They sometimes collide with boats. I can't even imagine it. Click the link and scroll down for video of some idiot water-skiing while these things are jumping. Talk about a death wish!!

GBW Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 back in 2007 I was in Fla. and a woman got hit by one and it did so much damage to her it was front page news. The fish are in there spawning right now and from my understanding the jumping is part of the process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigdritchie Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Theres a fish in that pcture? You have to look carefully, but yeah, there is. It's one of those things where some people see it and some don't. Truth is, it was the wife who pointed it out to me. I didn't notice at first either.
