Herman the Sturgeon

[alyssio]

this isnt an sturgeon

[melts941]

@alyssio your well clever to think thats not a sturgeon

[MrRayquazaking]

@alyssio I seen him in person and he is a Sturgeon. Actually When I went to see him I sat in front of his aquarium for an hour thinking about the offspring he could produce. No matter how old he gets I still think he's a magnificent creature that everyone should admire.

[Ricine]

Damn it has a huge mouth.

[zapco13]

better life in that tank than being raped & eaten by a sea lion. sure another sturgeon would've taken his place. sadly watched a 10-12' fish killed and barely eaten below the dam recently, and our guide mentioned that he often views that happening many times a day and hundreds per year.

[EeveelutionStorm]

Like a sturgeon....Cutting for the very first time...Wait wrong song.

Pretty interesting fish though.

[weewoodeal]

Funny how all the russains break in there and steal fish .

[RsBOT8]

HERMAN THE STURGEON!!

[THEBLAZIERKID]

ive been there!

[BryanWAStaken]

i plan on stealing this fish. mean feed

[Gargarensisspire]

i heard that these kinds of fish are very violent and have been known to attack and eat small adults and children

[HungQDang]

@Gargarensisspire actually, people eat sturgeon and died because of toxin in their meat !

[napoleontak]

@Gargarensisspire im sure some have eatin small kids and adult but am i suprised no because their big and people want to live near the huge carnivirous fish. no offence but if your scared of gettin eatin by a fish then dont live near it. you might say well those people cant go anywhere else when in fact they can. their are other parts of the river

[sactownism]

mmm..... dinnner

[bobelephant42]

herman is cool.

[TheCatFan21]

Captivity is better than being poached for roe.

[1kevintjuh]

i know a better name :P

fluffy xD

its big and cute :D

[eurasianchica]

He looks ancient, what a beautiful fish

[2000Kuta]

i have seen one

[lastgameralive]

coolsest stergeon ever

[flossysora]

I wouldn't wanna be swimming in the same tank as him.

[sprawl47]

he looks sad

[maarc71]

those fish needs water like the half world...

[henniboy01]

the eyes ... :) 

[9988noah]

is that a pike in the background at :06 ?

[diggles28]

@9988noah lol, you dont know your fish at all

[italiankid1121]

@9988noah no its either another sturgeon or a catfish

[GStar109]

hello herman (:

[Buradorii2]

White Sturgeon are not endangered, they are just threatened in some areas. Mostly where they are land-locked and cannot get out to sea.

Also, keeping a fish in captivity is not cruel or inhumane. Unless they are like White Sharks and cannot survive in captivity, then there is nothing wrong with it. We are able to give them perfect environments with no competition for food.

[Del249]

@Buradorii2 imagine yourself living in a 3x3 meters cell for your whole life with people walking around and watching you. perfect environment my ass.

[Vforceboy]

OH MIAH GOD ITS HERMAN THE STUGEON!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nathanfishing3000]

i saw him i live 1hour away from boneville look at my video

[Nugburner420]

its almost like looking back in time at the prehistoric era. dont be fooled the taste worse than they look

[solocitizen]

@Nugburner420 That's because you are looking back into a prehistoric era. Sturgeons are living fossils, their like cockroaches and crocodiles, unchanged for hundreds of millions of years.

[Nugburner420]

@solocitizen duh

[WireMan7620]

Impressive! He has perfect body form for his age. I would love to swim with one.

[cooler123999]

i was just there he is one huge 70yr old 10-ft long fish!

[sniperserg]

someone stole him from the hatchery pond. its sad and really unbeliveable,,,,,,,,,

[1524raely]

looks half dead

[OlMillwaukee15]

Im from Northern BC and there are quite a few comming back with the Sturgeon Release Project in the Nechako river. a few summers ago while I was on my Inner tube with some friends we saw one break the water, and its tail came out slowly and dissapeared again in a wirl pool. It was the neatest, scariest thing ive experienced on the tubes. I didnt realize that they surface like that until that day. I could see its back kind of armoured looking. I would estimate the one we saw was about 6 1\2 ft

[Botta12]

truely wonderful fish.

[cameltoejoe69]

Definently. I wouldnt want to eat one of these things though. Ive eaten some sturgeon before and disgusting and kind of muddy tasting. If people werent using them to eat their eggs, these fish would prolly not be endangered

[WendigoinWI]

@cameltoejoe69 That's not really why they are endangered, sturgeon don't reach sexual maturity until 30 years of age, so they were slow to recover from overfishing, and pollution to begin with, plus dams block them off from reaching their nesting areas up river. I hope they recover, but I kinda doubt it.

[XxTRPxX]

mmm..caviar.

[snapascrew]

200,000,000 years ago eh?

ahahahahahahahahah

[NCCNeon]

Yeah, snapascrew, that is rediculous ... everyone knows the Universe is only 6,000 years old.

[snapascrew]

@NCCNeon yupp

[GreetedRazzman]

Hes in Oregon hes about 12 feet

[annesophie82]

i want to be a historic fish. glurp.

[sniperserg]

herman turned himself in......

into beer battered fish and chips.......

made from black butte porter and pride of the west batter mix.

seasoned with old bay spice.....

no but that is pretty sad. sick basterds would steal a historic monumental fish like that. RIP herman

[metalifuk]

a fish like that doesnt deserve to be on display like that!!

[ouinonyes]

it look sooo sad

[onemopar]

well i never heard of a lake sturgeon where i live there are green and white sturgeon and if it has a shovel shaped nose that means its a green sturgeon

[onemopar]

isnt this a green sturgeon you dumb ass

[MiNyuamHmoob]

nope and nope. That's a lake sturgeon or a white. I need a better look at the scute and coloration. Green sturgeon are super bony and their scutes stays big and sharp. While the white and lake sturgeon scutes starts to shrink as they grow.

[Dealz1988]

Are these located in Florida????????????????

[MiNyuamHmoob]

Sorry but fortunately there's no white sturgeon anywhere around the world except West Coast of the USA along the entire West Coast of Canada up to Alaska.

[TyLeRkEmP7117]

also there are some in the great lakes in ontario

and in some rivers

[MiNyuamHmoob]

I believe the ones in the great lakes are lake sturgeon, same goes for the rivers. Those are all lake sturgeon.

[TyLeRkEmP7117]

ohh

i did not know that

thanks for the info :)

[lh141]

there are white sturgeon in the lower south west corner of bc in several lakes and rivers actually

[bostonneverforgets]

Umm wisconsin dumbshit

[MiNyuamHmoob]

on 2nd thought, im 90% thats a white...as lake sturgeon aren't available in Columbia River, which is where that bonneville dam is built :)

[sabbainc1984]

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!­! It's a monster!

[JustinLmao415]

Long live Herman!

[MadBmw3Series]

does anyone know roughly how old he/she, its a beauty. my mum has 2 sturgeon but they are only small at the moment.

[Dawnofwicca]

if your mom can get more sturgeon be sure to pm me i will some ;D i have a 300g atm and i can always donate to the shed once they get to big or release to the wild in WI thanks in advance!

[Luke0zz]

I live in oregon i have seen this fish this one got Stolin

[Arenaboy007]

he's so big he moves so slow!

[blondiecake]

We looove Herman! : )

[blondiecake]

We loooove Herman! : )

[elkhunt621]

me two i agree with mansonbaby1313 to

[slaykillerr]

He has probably been in there is whole life, he deserves to venture out into rivers

[mansonbaby1313]

why the hell is this fish in captivity this animal belongs in the wild

[ipodtouch1996]

i agree with mansonbaby1313

[spygal1996]

its cuz dey think tht it might die if u put it bak in da wild cus it might get eate

[Dawnofwicca]

learn english please -.-

[captaincadavor]

what the fuck is going to eat a ten foot long fish?

[iLiEkGrEeNtEa]

me o.o thats big enough sushi for my whole street o.o

[Luke0zz]

NO i live in oregon i seen herman somebody stole him and the rumor is they ate him sad. HERMAN IS Died

[BigAtothel]

mansonbaby1313 fish like this are kept in hatcheries so there entire species doesn't go extinct.

[K2Tanner]

Ok living a comfortable life where you don't have to compete for food is just inhumane isn't it? I have been to this place and it is a wonderful learning experience for children and if it being in captivity pisses you off so much then go and live in the wilderness for a few months and then get back to me. Trust me the only difference those fish know is that they get to float around and eat all day.

[ikillniggers2]

lmao. last line was great.

[eurasianchica]

@K2Tanner hmm thats what people do in prison right?

[Jeffrie510]

@K2Tanner People have pet fish... what do you have to say for that hten

[tjohnson4037]

@K2Tanner That's funny you say that. The only time a Sturgeon is not eating is when they sleep... They don't sleep...

[rorywelsh93]

lol thats well funny. What a beast of a fish. and its called herman. lol

[Gnuggets]

seen this guy lots of times my dad works there at the fish hatchery :) this guys little after cascade locks as your heading to portland

[BubbaPugg]

I saw this guy!I saw him up here in oregon.When I saw him was amazed at how HUGE he was.

[monkeyguy101]

wish i could catch it~~

[potatoboy789]

poor fish

[Thralllinian]

yay Herman!
