One thing that seems uniquely Wiscosin is how hyped everyone gets in the spring when the sturgeon spawning run starts. Like everyone flocks to specific points along the main rivers to watch these funky lake dinosaurs get it on.

#personal #like its a family event. people bring their kids to show them nature at work.#but also. the local officials will post gaurds at various spawning points because sturgeon spawn along the rocky edges of the river #and people will and do crawl down the riverbank to pet those funky dinosaurs as they get their freak on #like i have vivid memories as a kid at the Shiocton spawn area of my dad helping me crawl down the rocks and having me pet some of them #this is a normal thing here and by jove ita hilarious when you really think about it #though it is cool when theyre by the dams because then they do the dramatic leaps in the air like salmon do going up river #ahhh that wisconsin life #i know some other states have lake surgeon too but ive never seen the spawning season hyped up like it is here loool #just part of living by the great lakes #midwest life is great
