Seems some on Facebook are embellishing fish populations in Sakakawea... ;:;badidea
I know this is completely untrue. But.. holy crap.
My dad used to tell me stories about Sakakawea. About the divers that had to go down an recover a crashed airplane, and when they came back up, they left, saying they'd never dive that lake again. about how, in the dark, something swam by one of them, and it swam by and swam by, like 12 or 14 ft long. The guy had white hair when he came back up.
Now, I was 8, when I first heard this, and it shook me. 42 years later, I know better, but the thought of some monster in that lake is both terrifying, and delicious.
If I were swimming, or tubing, or whatever, and saw a sturgeon like that, I'd probably get up and outwalk Jesus across the lake.
