Flying Sturgeon

[muddy]

Ever handled a shovelnose sturgeon? They're covered in pretty sharp "scales" and when they flip around it elicits a most amusing response.

This happened on the Cedar River I believe...

Fish abuse.

You can have the boy but leave the fish alone!!

 

[muddy]

Actually, shovelnose don't get much bigger than that.

Almost looks like you never handled a fish before!

 

[muddy]

Almost...

Matt,
Do you know what we call that in that in Trout Unlimited circles?

"The Death Grip"

Just teasing you buddy!

One of my best friends, "Benny" from IW, is a fisheries bioligist from WI, you guys should share war stories!

 

[muddy]

The death grip is reserved for carp species only.

 

[Blaster]

I wouldn't be using that grip with those Flatheads Muddy!

 

[NebraskaWhitetail]

We outta start calling Muddy the "Fishbonker"!

 

[Tomo]

He he...I would have let it go too. Had a shovelnose lay my finger wide open once trying to hold on to it while it was squirming. Serious armor on those babies.
