Big Fish
A Florida woman was knocked unconscious by a flying sturgeon while boating on the Suwanee river this weekend.
This is the second such injury a leaping sturgeon has caused on the river this year. The first victim lost her pinkie finger and a tooth.
NPR covered the story during last night's drive time; a reporter interviewed Captain Roy Brown of the Florida Fish & Wildlife Department, who was an expert on flying fish. (How do you find a flying fish expert? Are there any on ProfNet?) Captain Brown said that he had been injured by a leaping fish, too. The host did an admirable job of restraining his laughter and signing off so he could turn off the mic and crack up.
