Hope that works, if not, copy and paste into your browser.  It's a pretty amazing story about sturgeon on the lower Columbia River.

Here's a video I found.  It's amazing to think that this ball of sturgeon (60k) is estimated to be less than 5-10% of the population.

That's pretty crazy. It's hard to judge how big the fish are with no reference but some of them look big. Like the one that swipes it's tail and sends the sub like way back.
