Herman

This beauty is Herman, the unofficial fish of Oregon. He is a 77 year old 11 foot long sturgeon. I had no idea that he was such a celebrity. It was a blast to see him on my way to Wenatchee Washington. Here is a link which gives some history ( https://myodfw.com/articles/herman-sturgeon )

Sorry the image was taken through the viewing glass at the Bonneville Dam along the Columbia Gorge.

Wow! He's been around a long time for a fish.

Fun that he became so famous but glad that they stopped taking him back and forth to the fair.

@kathyladley @shutterbug49 @gardencat @marlboromaam @haskar Thank you so very much. I am glad that he has achieved the status of 'elder fish' and gets a well deserved break from being bothered.

So interesting, looks good for his age

[Diane]

He's huge! And awfully old...

@onewing @eudora He is less bothered these days but still a celebrity of sorts. Thank you so much for you supportive comments
