They thought the dam was breaking up under water. Divers do an emergency check on the dam. A mass of sturgeon are found at the base. They mention 60,000 sturgeon with this incident, which is amazing. Article here.
Wow, that’s a lot of fish. When I first watched the video, I was wondering what gutsy diver they got to take that footage, and upon further reading, found that it was a submersible. Thank god. I know they’re plant eating fish, but they still scare the beejeebus out of me by their sheer size. Nice article though. Learned something new too, sea lions eat sturgeon. huh…who knew…
My dad is at Boneville Dam this summer, I wonder if he’s heard anything about this.
Maybe they all got together to play Twister?
Pretty cool…
Say, Qadgop, aren’t you a sturgeon?
Some of them looked scarred and knocked about.
90 percent of them were carp.
Whatta bunch of bullcarp.
Weren’t no carps in the video I watched (from the link).
I thought I saw some short faced sturgeon with whiskers.
That was both very subtle and hysterically funny.
Thank you for that, TP. 
I don’t get it.
Oh, WELL, Theodore Sturgeon.
Damn, that’s a good joke.
Maybe they were trying to get to the Obama rally.
I half expected to come in here to find this picture again.
If memory serves, he’s a sturgeon for the incarpcerated.
Looks more like some kind of uprising. An insturgeoncy, maybe.
They probably gathered under orders from the Sturgeon General.
Now! Now! Let’s not be having a roe over this you rapscallions.
