Okay you might have just added catching a sturgeon onto my bucket list.

I didn't know that sturgeon got that big, or that they're considered dinosaurs...

But it explains the cost of caviar, if you ask me.

Sturgeon is not the only way to get caviar. But I don't really care. I never liked caviar. It always looked and smelled like salmon bait.

I couldn't agree more, some of it DOES look like salmon bait.

I always thought it smelled of fish fertilizer, myself.

Lot of Sturgeon in the Snake River as well. Years ago, visiting one of the commercial fish hatcheries, they had pictures of a 26 footer they had caught in 1908. It weighed 675 lbs according to the state records list.

BC, didn't realize the Island was that big, thanks for sharing.

Ya, Dude, Vancouver Island is the size of California, and most of it is uninhabited, the burbs and communities tend to be on the East Coast, VERY few on the West Coast....

The wind storm that hit BC yesterday had winds in excess of 160 kmh hit Cape Scott, on the northwest tip of the Island... we got lucky further south, the winds only hit 95 kmh.

(160 kmh = ~ 110 mph, thereabouts..... and 95 is in the ballpark of 60 mph).
