the original caviar requires a lot of tastings until you find your right seasoning, strong fishy flavour. Hopefully fish farming will save the centenarian species that can reach amazing sizes.

To murder such a large animal, simply to eat their eggs is a pure madness. people's greed knows no boundaries.

I live in Michigan and we have huge sturgeon in our lake. Not 20 ft but 12 to 15 ft! Imagine swimming along and seeing a 12 foot fish swimming by you... probably think it was a shark!

The Mekong giant catfish is the official freshwater heavyweight champion of the world. According to the Guinness Book of Records, a nine-foot-long individual caught in northern Thailand in 2005 weighted an astounding 646 pounds, making it the largest exclusively freshwater fish ever recorded.

I was fishing in a river in Florida when the first one I had ever seen came swimming by. I immediately pulled in my line, afraid that he would pull me into the water.

It would be nice to put also international units, and not just U. S. units.
