Wishing on a shooting star

The one I'm holding is also a Silver Redhorse. Grey tail, convex dorsal fin and tall body profile = Silver Redhorse.

Michael was worried that he'll attract too much attention and people will start asking him information about where to catch these Lake Sturgeon. Being a helpful guy he is, maybe he feels he'll have a hard time saying "no" to people.

Honestly, we can tell you...but only after we've put fast acting poison in your water first. We'll tell you as we lower your dead body into the ground Eli shared with us his treasured location. We don't share it with anyone else. It's only respectful to Eli and the hard work he has put in to find and fish the location over the year. Plus, like I said, these fish are too vulnerable to "spread the word". Not everyone has the same fishing ethics and respect and care in handling for these majestic creatures.

He's also worried that by showing a Lake Sturgeon on his website, it may mislead people that it is okay to fish for sturgeon locally. However, for much of Southern Ontario the season is closed all year for Lake Sturgeon (ie, no targeting of sturgeon...people do catch them incidentally). Only in pockets of Northern Ontario are there areas with an open season for catch and release sturgeon fishing. Either that...or you travel to the US or Quebec where sturgeon fishing is allowed in some areas.
