I used to have a Sturgeon in my pond, bloody thing died after someone over fed it while we were on holiday!

RIP Dave !

What size was the fish?

I know a few Scottish people who'd be quite upset by this thread title, at least until they saw the photo.

Lol, now I know the reference from another post.

There is a big un in my local river. Not native in this country, so it’s assumed that it got too big for someone’s garden pond. It gets caught a couple of times a year and seems to be thriving.

No camper van in sight.

well to risk a dose of very bad taste and possible contravening forum rules (sorry mods please remove if offensive), this is something a mate sent me a few days ago.

I felt sick. Yep hat and coat time.

The guy who adopted my Koi when I had to stop my hobby has one in his pond. Just by looking at it I think it must be just a little bit over 2 meters big! I thought my Yamabuki and Kohaku were big at just under 1 meter, but that fish was in another class altogether!

Sturgeon: an anadromous* bottom-feeder with poor eyesight which, when threatened, stirs up mud to cover its escape.

* I must confess, I misread that word as a Greek compound with similar sound but very different meaning…
