Post by: cohoho on August 05, 2010, 11:10:29 PM: It is not the mouth, all the mouths extend like that.... Look at the front nostril area, the nose end must have gotten them clipped off from a prop, seal, something, made her look like she had four eyes... It was freakier up close for sure..

Post by: TONTO on August 05, 2010, 11:13:31 PM: The forward facing eyes kinda freek me out. I've seen lots of strange looking sturgeon, but thing is funky looking. Caught one once that had been cut inhalf right behind the dorsal fin, at first it looked wierd but couldn't figure it out. It's anal fin dorsal fin and scutes had grown together to form what looked a whole hell of alot like a tail. It was fat but measured 44", inch shy outa Astoria, but there had to be atleast 18" of this fish missing, oh and did I say it was fat :drool: Wonder if anybody ever caught him again after he made the mark.

some idiots probably reeled it into their prop trying to fight it in.
