giant river fish

The white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) is one of the largest freshwater fish species in North America, growing to over 15 feet in length and weighing over 1,000 pounds. Strongholds for the population include the Fraser River in Canada and the Sacramento River in California.

The largest threats to white sturgeon in North America are dams and associated flow regulation. Fragmentation of populations due to dams has led to decline in numbers in the Columbia basin. Some populations that once migrated from the sea to rivers for breeding are now landlocked due to dam construction.

A minute's thought suggests that the very idea of this is stupid. A more detailed examination raises the possibility that it might be an answer to the question "how could the Germans win the war after the US gets involved?" - Captain Seafort, in a thread proposing a 1942 'D-Day' in Quiberon Bay

Fishing rods? Just a wee bit more robust, and a 'slightly' stronger line than usual... A few hours drill time...

A bigger boat, and something sturdy to tie yourself to...

Nets, if you are serious about it and not doing it for sport. Has been done that way since Roman times.

A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'? A country isn't a rock. It's not an extension of one's self. It's what it stands for. It's what it stands for when standing for something is the most difficult! - Chief Judge Haywood
