It was prolly one of those 16" bluegills from the next forum.
I think it might be "OLD SAM", a big silver carp down Mayberry, North Carolina way. Howard Sprague (my CUZZIN) caught him some years back and put him in an aquarium. Public opinion won Old Sam's freedom and as far as I know he is still swimming around somewhere. IT COULD HAPPEN!  I just saw that episode a few weeks ago, Andy Griffith is the man

Brid, I don't think the "big" Sturgeon will survive down here, or do well enough to get that big.
We have a few Shovelnose Sturgeon in the Red River, but those only get about 2' or so.
