Time for a Federal Dept of Sturgeon regulation, with a cabinet level administrator.

Ooooh, that was a bad one!
That said, we have had boaters actually killed by jumping sturgeon here in Florida. For those who’ve never seen them jumping, they simply launch themselves out of the water and then plunge back in - but they’re huge, long fish, and if they hit anything in their leap, it’s all over for whatever they hit.
Then of course, there are the people who have had needlefish leap out of the water and go through some body part. They’re not attacking - just doing what needlefish do, which is leaping. One woman had a needlefish go through her neck. Ick.
Come to Florida and enjoy nature (red in tooth and claw...).
