Geoff - What the h*ll have you got in they water down there that is 6  
meters long and jumps?

BTW, and I hope I'm remembering this correctly, jumping Sturgeon  
account for at least a few deaths on Florida waterways every year.    
They seem to like jumping right in front on open boats moving at high  
speed.  The operator drives right into the fish at 20 or 30 miles per  
hour. ... must be an awful shock.  They can be six feet long.

Regards,

Dick
