<P class=Body>Two brothers from Milton are the latest victims to get clobbered 
by a leaping sturgeon.</p> <P class=Body>Sam, 43, and Chris Parish, 25, were enjoying a leisurely morning 
of bass fishing on the Yellow River June 28 until a leaping Gulf sturgeon, 
estimated 5 – 6 feet in length, came over the bow and hit both men in their 
faces and upper bodies.&nbsp; They escaped the encounter with minor cuts, 
scrapes and bruises.&nbsp; The sturgeon ended up back in the river.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://myfwc.com/whatsnew/08/statewide/News_08_X_Sturgeon.htm">no one knows why sturgeons leap into the air.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://myfwc.com/whatsnew/08/statewide/News_08_X_Sturgeon.htm">
<P class=Body>As scary as a single collision is on the Yellow or other Northwest 
Florida rivers, they pale in comparison to the number of collisions on the 
Suwannee River.&nbsp; In 2006 and '07 one person was killed and 18 were injured 
on the Suwannee after being struck by the bony, armor-plated fish.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://myfwc.com/whatsnew/08/statewide/News_08_X_Sturgeon.htm">
<P class=Body>Gulf sturgeon can grow to 8 feet in length and weigh more than 200 
pounds.&nbsp; They are a protected species in Florida.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D598FB0D-E6C1-443D-8429-21AB07B4C3FA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
