A woman fishing last week on the Fraser River outside of Vancouver, Canada, hooked a 9-foot sturgeon whose mighty leap was caught on video.

*Perhaps as remarkable was that Zdebiak’s husband, Rob, hooked a different sturgeon of similar size at the same time so two epic fights involving prehistoric-looking “river monsters” occurred simultaneously.

"All heck broke loose,” Bisson, owner of [Yves Bisson Sturgeon Co.]('https://www.fraserriversturgeon.com/'), said. “It was crazy that we hooked two at once that size and landed them. Both were over 300 pounds and one was over 8 feet, and the other over 9 feet.”

Only Steevie jumped in to pose with the sturgeon before they were unhooked and allowed to swim free. (White sturgeon cannot be harvested on the Lower Fraser River).

White sturgeon can measure 12-plus feet and weigh more than 1,000 pounds. The fish date to prehistoric times and have been described as “living dinosaurs.”
==============================*
hell of a catch & the odds of getting two of them the same trip?

*One of the writers of “I Am Legend” is weighing in on vaccine hesitancy, and he wants to make one thing very clear: the virus he used as the catalyst to the 2007 post-apocalyptic film is not a real thing. And he certainly doesn’t want people passing up the COVID-19 vaccine because of it.

For those who are unfamiliar, “I Am Legend” followed Will Smith’s character, who is the last human in New York. The rest of the population was wiped out by a genetically re-engineered measles virus, which was created as a cure for cancer. It took roughly three years to infect just about everybody, turning them into literal monsters.

Apparently, some people in the real world have been afraid that the COVID vaccines could result in a similar situation — and Akiva Goldsman, a co-writer and executive producer of “I Am Legend,” is baffled by it. After seeing a screenshot from a [New York Times article]('https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/06/nyregion/employee-vaccination-business-ny.html') that cited one woman’s concern about the vaccine resulting in an “I Am Legend”-type disaster, Goldsman tweeted, “Oh. My. God. It’s a movie. I made that up. It’s. Not. Real.”*

so we're actively graduating dunces now?
:rolleyes:

KINGSTON, N.H. (AP) — A man has pleaded guilty to a disorderly conduct charge stemming from [an explosive gender reveal party]('https://apnews.com/article/nh-state-wire-eb279a8493dd54b8857e20434f9a0c9a') that was heard by nearby residents in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. :oops:

As part of a plea deal reached Tuesday, Anthony Spinelli, of Kingston, was convicted and fined $620, of which $500 will be suspended for 12 months as long as he stays out out of trouble, according to court records.

Police in Kingston, a town not far from the Massachusetts state line, received reports in April of a loud explosion. They responded to a quarry, where people acknowledged holding a gender reveal party with explosives.

The explosive was 80 pounds (36 kilograms) of Tannerite, police said. The family thought the quarry would be the safest spot to detonate the explosive, which is typically sold over the counter as a target for firearms practice, police said.

Some nearby residents reported their homes were shaken by the explosion. No injuries were reported, police said.

“Based on the facts, at the conclusion of the investigation, we feel that the charge and the disposition were appropriate,” Kingston police said in a statement. “We are very thankful no one was injured during the gender reveal incident and sympathetic to the fact it startled the community.”

It wasn’t immediately known if Spinelli had a lawyer to speak for him. A message sent to him on social media seeking comment was not immediately returned.

:ROFLMAO:

Heard a “ Headline” that we defeated the organization that attacked us on 911 but then just recently gave them back control of a entire country. Which will make this Country strong enough to come back and do worse resulting in loosing even more young and old lives to their cause.

FYI- NO COVID ISSUES THERE.

WTF

Taliban freed all prisoners from state prison in Kabul.

Taliban in Presidential Palace.

100 armored Humvees and MRAP’s taken by Taliban.

Five drones also taken. That’s $20,000,000 right there.

WAY TO GO JOE!
Hey to all you LGBT sympathizers. Guess what and whose laws make it a death sentence?

go back in there and destroy em..

I wish they would drop the age max. I would have escorted the oldest and went back. I’d have no problem at BT still even being 35 pounds heavier.

Do you see what’s missing in that video I posted above?
There are no women. They are being left to fend for themselves. Imagine being ten or eleven year old girl and today you are now the wife of a dirtbag getting raped. It’s all happening right now today.

He won’t do the right thing. It started last year which we all knew it would come. It was not a good decision but it was made. There was a plan then it was scrapped in January.
Depression is high right now. Glad my guy is busy in Europe and not watching what’s happening today.
