Darn brother, rubbing it in

WHERE were they fishing?
In Alaska Salmon and Halibut that size would actually JUMP IN YOUR BOAT!

You wouldn't want a Florida river sturgeon jumping in your boat. They grow up to 8 feet long and weight up to 200 pounds and certain times during the year in the Suwannee River, they like to jump 5-6 feet out of the water. In the past several years, people have been badly injured by them and one little girl was killed when hit by one. Mostly this occurs when boats are underway and can't avoid a jumping sturgeon. Even if you were sitting still, you wouldn't want one of those to land on you.
 
We get those sturgeons around our area. They are huge. The world record is 1,100 pounds, 12 feet, 4 inches caught in the Fraser River.
I also copied this picture and sent it to my husband who was impressed
