Radicalized Sturgeon Attack Jetskiers [Dan Collins]

Parker said problems with sturgeon — which are large, prehistoric-looking fish with hard plates along their backs that can grow up to 8 feet long and up to 200 pounds — came to a head last year when 10 people were injured in accidents caused by the jumping fish.

Parker said the Gulf sturgeon migrate into the Suwannee River in March to spawn, and remain in the river until the fall. And researchers still aren’t sure why the large fish jump.

Could it have anything to do with caviar, you bastards?!

Meanwhile, scientists piss off macho marine mammals.  I know I’m not going jetskiing in the Actic anytime soon.

    Anybody on or in the water who could get away with fish-slapping a jetskier, should.

    After your Manatee Farm project, you are a marked man in aquatic mammal circles, Collins.

    Meanwhile, your link did throw up this new climatic data.

    When scientists flew over central Baffin Bay earlier this month, they found only open water.

    That may be why it’s called a Bay.

  3. Dan Collins says:

    Baffin Boffins?

  4. J. Peden says:

    I wonder if the “scientists” still have their scientific hats?

    I have an old Ernest Hemmingway tape from many years ago in which he mildly mocked The scientists, with their scientific hats, with a few repetitions of same. It’s pretty funny, but I didn’t realize until lately just how onto something he was. Mainly, I just thought he was drunk.

    If not for global warming, it would be a glacier.

    Scientists say global climate models for the ocean west of Greenland have basically relied on guesswork. “There’s just a huge data hole in this part of the world ocean in the winter,” said Michael Steele, a senior oceanographer at the Polar Science Center.

    It figures that a turncoat black man would be complicit in Bush’s global destruction project.

  7. Lew Clark says:

    What they don’t know is that poles show that 82% of narwhals are Republicans.  They’re going to sabotage the data!

    Even if he had merely been drunk, he was onto something. (hic)

    Hey, as long as it wasn’t late-term caviar, the Supreme Court says it’s okay…

  10. Al Maviva says:

    Caviar?  You mean they’re killing female jet skiers for their tasty eggs?

    WTF is the Suwanee anyhow… some kind of aquatic fertility clinic / all night diner from hell? 

    TW:  Don’t blame me… I voted for McGovern in decision19xx.

  11. B Moe says:

    I am no fan of jetski’s at all, but it would pretty much suck to take one in the chops from one of these puppies.

  12. Rusty says:

    Moe. That ain’t even a big one. Columbia River sturgeon get twice as big.

    I have seen pictures of those in fishing magazines, just couldn’t find a good one on the web.  It is a damn shame there is no good way to catch one on a rod and reel.

  14. McGehee says:

    Best way I know of, is a deadfall. You dig a hole in the water and cover it with branches and leaves to camouflage it…

  15. Austin Mike says:

    “We’ve converted these animals into oceanographers,” Laidre told The Seattle Times by phone from Greenland.

    By golly, environmentalism actually is a religion….

    Panic struck Washington DC today as over 3,000 narwhal swam up the Potomac to demand research grants from the EPA…
