I have seen several small "shakers" jump in front of me at Stevensburg.

It happens. Josh was riding with me on a downwinder to Homevalley and a Strugon jumped in front of him and hit is board and broke it.

Beware of the rolling Strugon... Twisted Evil

A 900 pound, 11 foot long sturgeon was found dead in Lake Washington USA, apparently there had been a story about a giant duck eating monster living in the lake for many years before this discovery. The Sturgeon is thought to have died from old age, and may have been 80 years old.


I saw one jump while kiting at Dalton Point - swore it was a columbia river porpoise
