Paul  Any chance it could be a Striped Bass, which are common and very
acrobatic on a fishing line?  Seems a little odd that a bottom feeder like
an Atlantic Sturgeon would be a jumper...

Speaking of Stripers, I'm told anecdotally there are a lot of big ones 1M+
being taken in the Minas Basin this year.

Regards

Jamie Simpson
