Ah, yes, the Beluga Sturgeon, the largest sturgeon alive.

Batgirl-
Interesting story, and a territorial shark will display its size to intruders, but Megalodon’s dorsal was only ten feet tall, and it was only 60 feet long. This, however, could be another member of the Carcharodon genus, Carcharodon gigantocharias, not officially discovered yet, but plausible given the amount of other giant swimmers.

You want to see a truly big fish, look up ‘Sturgeon’. I was out fishing a couple months ago and caught a 7 1/2 footer, as big around in the middle as a wine barrel. They get longer than 20 feet, and they’ll still jump completely out of the water.

A lot of people didn’t believe they existed for many years, and many still won’t believe my 20′ claim.

rgus30…
If it LOOKS like an oarfish, and SMELLS like an oarfish… well…

I like toxic waste jokes as much as the next guy, but known animals are known animals and this guy is an oarfish.

They have washed up on the shores of British Columbia (and been caught by fishermen off the shores of BC) for hundreds of years…I saw one when I was a kid in BC, and the natives there have folklore about them that reaches back to pre-European explorer times.

Its not impossible that a fish is that big. In LAKE STORSIE IN SWEDEN there is research going on a possibility that there may be huge catfish species living in the lake large enough to swallow a human.

edible? Not to much meat on it, but the eyes would see you through the day.

Big fish… Wonder what happened to have it washed up like that… You’d think, if they lived at that sort of depth, something would have eaten it before it got to shore. It’s a hungry ocean out there. Still, pretty fishy.

The book Very Crazy, G.I.!: Strange but True Stories of the Vietnam War by Kregg P. Jorgenson includes a “monster” sighting report of what sounds like two very large oarfish, but they were golden instead of silver. An unknown Pacific variant, perhaps?
