Weeeeeeeee, sturgeon

Hey I forgot to mention that I did check out the world's largest sturgeon run. I felt like I was creeping around rivers of a prehistoric era minus the smoke belching factory across the river and the shoddy gang tag scrawled on the sidewalk.

There were some real monsters cruising up that river. Some about six to seven feet long. They were all flapping around like, "What the hell is this dam doing here, fifty years ago I could totally swim to a better town and make sweet fish love to some random hundred year old sturgeon babe, but whatever."

I could only see a couple dozen pairs of fins poke above the water once and a while, but the river at the dam in Shawano is pretty wide and I'd bet the prehistoric beasts to be spanning the entire breadth of water.
