One creature I had nightmares about as a kid. Actually quite beautiful and interesting.

What a monster!

😱

COOL, BUT I'M OUT.

Fact checking reveals these are real: -A protected species requiring special licensing and catch and release procedures -Biggest one caught and measured was over 11 ft long -100-140 year lifespan -They are not the ogopogo as that's a lake cryptid but could've been mistaken for a lost one.

Awesome! Do they have an idea on the age?

When John Smith arrived in Virginia in the 1600’s, he said that the James River was so full of sturgeon that you could almost walk across it on their backs. The Native American boys would ride on their backs to show their courage and skill. Not like that anymore.

Sturgeon are amazing fish. Look at the size of that one! Probably 150 yrs old.

Thought Sturgeons always stayed at the bottom? Unique to have that swimming on the surface..

The sea monster returns. I have always thought these could be what people have seen

No mystery why people have believed in sea serpents....

😳

I live in a little river town in Illinois and smoked sturgeon is a treat and hard to find. Of course, it's the shovelnose sturgeon, but still heavily regulated. It's right around $14/lb.

😮

Caviar

wwwwwwwtf Nightmare fuel like this is what keeps me out of large bodies of water and those in which I cannot see everything around me, clear as day. 😭😭😭😭😭

Yowzers!

Its a for real sea monster!

Looks scary.

You sure it’s not the Loch Ness Monster?

It's a biggun and the species that should it end up on the end of your line you release it immediately.

Its Nessie... the Loch Ness Monster...

Are you sure it isn't Nessy?

Holy crap!

Graceful and Awe inspiring...Be grateful & respectful of Natura -she is so very Creative.

Don’t mention the locations! You’ll only gonna make them go there!

Wow

Thank goodness they r protected. They were almost fished to Extinction at one point I believe

So cool. They can be 1000 pounds and live a long time.

That's a beast. 😱

fake

Oh. Wow.

These giant prehistoric fish that swam alongside dinosaurs are so cool! And we are lucky to live alongside them, who witnessed dinosaurs firsthand.

Leave him be...

Looks like Nessie emigrated!

That's one big fish!

Nelly!

That's a dinosaur.

Carquinez Strait sturgeon are no joke.

Wow !!! 😮…. Beautiful 🤩

Let's go noodling

Darn, how large is that fish?

...and some asshole will kill it to mount it, for on his wall in the basement bar. We have Sturgeon spear fishing here. It irks me to no end too. Let them grow!

A literal prehistoric monster

No wonder there is a Sturgeon Moon!

Clearly the Lochness Monster!

W🤔W❣️

Ok that is a sea monster

WOW

Don't fnck with Canada! We have hockey sticks & enormous goddamn dinosaur fish & we know how to use both. ...just saying. (I'm not even getting into the white murder bears) 🤷

I think I'm going to need a bigger hook...

Freaky story: 1970,The Indian Arm, BC w/two lines in, we snagged a sturgeon that spun our 40’ older wooden cris craft & dragged us a fair bit. Barely breaking the water surface we could see how truly immense it was before the line broke. They can get 20’ long here. Not the fish we were trying for 😳😳

Wdf is dat?!!

Omfg eeeekkkkk

Somewhere in South Louisiana they just put on some rice.

Scooping Fluffy Basmati RiceALT: Scooping Fluffy Basmati Ricestatic.klipy.com

Majestic AF.

WOW.

I’ve had one pull my 25’ boat upriver for a mile. At a good clip. Navy divers trying to recover a derailed train in the Columbia river gorge were too freaked out to go back in the water after seeing them. Absolutely awesome.

whoa. thats big!

In my best Keanu Reeves voice; "WHOA!"

Wow! I hope it (they) are protected!

This fish is probably 150 years old!

You’re going to need a bigger boat!

Isn’t that the Loch Ness monster?

Holy sh*t! It’s the Loch Ness Monster!

Caviar for dayyyyyyys

Whoa! That things looks like the Loch ness monster!

Genuinely fascinating creatures.

Wow! huge.

Oh hell yeah! I live in Fl Alligators everywhere there is water. I was kyaking in a channel off CT river when I looked down and saw the long moving back of "something "! I panicked! The first ppl I saw I said there is something like an alligator back there! They smiled and said,"probably a sturgeon"

it is true?

Nope!

Looks like Champ in Lake Champlain!

I didn't know we had sturgeon. Thanks. TIL.

Someone call Loch Ness—their monster has escaped!

I swear, this is why I'd rather swim in the ocean than a lake.

Beautiful

Afraid to know the answer but, do they eat people? Terrifying.

Amazing

Wow

Huh! So sea monster myths ARE real!

They are a protected fish here in B.C.🐟HANDS OFF!!

Awesome 😎

Y’all need to call that a relative of the Loch Ness Monster and just take our money!💰 😂

Those white barbs on its back are razor sharp. As a kid I watched my Mother catch one in the Klamath river in Northern California where we lived. As she was bringing it in it whipped around and hit her right leg. The cuts when healed left big scars.

When I was young they still had huge sturgeon in the Sacramento River. I had one just like that swim by our boat. It's an amazing sight.

we have found Canadian nessie. holy crap

Damn!

Holy Smokes...now that's the lochness monster.

I can see why this might be one explanation of the Loch Ness Monster.

Cripes!

Wow!

Wow!

Oh thank goodness. I thought this was Trump's newest addition to the Refecting pool.

That’s big, but you should have seen the one I caught yesterday. I fought him for like 20 hours but you know…decided to let him go 🤣.

Very cool 💜

😳 eeeeeoooowwww 😳

That is some serious caviar unless I misunderstand how that works.

Nature is so awesome

OMG !!! can one of you "beautiful humans" out there 💋 ..... verify if this is REAL ?????? I'm in "shock" 😲😲😲🤔🤔🤔

Dinosaurs.

I don’t go near any river because I am scared what in it.

😱😱😱

Wow! Gonna need a huuuuge smoker, 10,000 bagels, and quite a bit of cream cheese! That is a big fish!

I think is what people see when they think they see their local version of the Loch Ness monster.

Nessy.

Atlantic sturgeon found in ME and Maritimes rivers during mating season… up to 800lbs and 14-16’. And they jump!!! Watch your toes.

😲😲😲

Are you sure the Loch Ness monster hasn't relocated to Canada?

Those are the shrieking eels. They always get louder when they're about to feed on human flesh.

owes me three-fiddy

Nice try, but you can't fool me. That's not the Fraser River. It's Loch Ness. 😉

They look so prehistoric.. Jurassic Parkish…,.

Looks prehistoric as hell.

👀👀

WOW! That's a huge fish!

It’s Nessies cousin

Wow. Just wow.

Holy crap

That thing is like 100 years old

That is a big fucking fish

Wow! Magnificent! Makes me feel like this❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍Sending you Love from the Archangels of the 7 Rays. Namaste, Sherri

That's a Dino fish...

😳

Is it edible?

Loch Ness Sturgeon

i hope its protected and given room to live and not be bothered by people.

I'm sorry, that is a dragon.

I need reassurance: is this a one-off or are there many of them?

😍 I used to take the kids out to the Sturgeon hatchery by Rooster Rock state Park…haha they had the one old huge Fella in his own private pool. 🥹😂

A Nessie on this continent too! Awesome.

Nessie or her cousin?

If I saw that in the water I would shat myself....

😱

Massive!

Ooooggggg. So scary. I’m terrified of sturgeon.

😳

No way. 😮

Instead of fish-hunting them to extinction, why not train them to hunt submarines much like how the Russian’s trained beluga whales to do their underwater spying? BUT humanely ofcourse. (although there’s nothing humane about capturing, keeping them away from their wild habitat & under human control)

Lunchtime!

You sure it's not the Lochness monster?

This one must have a death wish... usually they're elusive.

Loch Ness Monster is a giant sturgeon?

Either is an optical illusion or AI. A Sturgeon can't be this big...

I was gonna say this isn't real, but then I remembered that the sturgeon was one of the biggest fish in Animal Crossing so I am more inclined to believe this 😅

And here I was planning on traveling to Canada to hike river trails...without a missile launcher...

Wow. Never seen anything like it!

Nessie?!!!

Alas these ancient fish may doomed if Carney's plans to boost shipping infrastructure and create a new terminal for oil tankers at Roberts Bank, the mouth of the mighty Fraser, goes ahead. So stupid focussing on fossil fuels when renewables are going such ground.

No! 😧

Whoa

I can see someone taking this footage and trying to use it as “proof” of the existence of the Loch Ness monster.

How big?

11' long and 1000 lbs.

YIKES!

Nessie!

White sturgeon in the Fraser River grow to almost 12 feet. The largest one caught was 11'8" and weighed 1200 lbs. Beluga Sturgeon can get much larger - 23' and 3500lbs. Both are very impressive, ancient species.

We're going to need a bigger plate.

That would be crazy to see.

Wow! Massive! One was measured at 23 feet 7 inches weighing 3400 pounds. They can live 100 years and have been around for 200 million years. Amazing!

Amazing nature. Just don’t show it to Don Jr.; will be looking to kill it as a trophy.

Wow

From now on I will be swimming in my bathtub! 😱

Wow. (= Move over, Loch Ness Monster!) 😎

if this was America, someone would immediately try to kill it.

Holy S**t! That sturgeon is GIANT!!! 😮😊

Wow its a monster!

Amazing that some dumbf**k human hasn’t killed it. May it live a long life!!

Dang! Bigger than the rock bass in Tennessee.

Let’s hope you manage to keep the Russians out of the water

The largest sturgeon ever caught was 24 feet long and weighed 3,463 pounds, making them the largest freshwater fish species in the world.

Leviathan.

haduma!

Holy fuck that is terrifying!

Boyyyy, I’d love to go fly fishing for this monster…..🐟🎣….🤣😂. That is one big fish!

The what? That's a whole ass sea monster

I had no idea!

Wow. It’s so huge. ✨

Incredible.

Nooo, this is the Lochness Monster!

Looking at living history 🤯

😮

😮

A living dinosaur.

Atleast 75-100 years old...

I'm good, chief.

That's a frickin' leviathan!! So incredible, and a bit terrifying.

Those things just scare the crap out of me. One of the most prehistoric looking things left on the rarth.
