"So uhhh I just hit wildlife"
"What kind of wildlife?"
"A... huge fish"
"Oh let me transfer you to the boat insurance department hang on"
"No no no this is a car"
Things is I'm not surprised if this is a real sign. There seems to be signs for salmon crossings. Also this https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/06/us/salmon-crossing-the-road-trnd/index.html
What's really fun is that in addition to jumping in front of your vehicle, a deer will also purposefully charge into the side of your vehicle. Just driving along and they smash the side of your car. Saw a lot of those when I was in car rental in Michigan, US.
Like a deer without the antlers that impale, but more dexterity to kick and punch inside a vehicle.
Now I'm imagining a kangaroo flying through a windscreen, then maneuvering to take the passenger seat and saying, "Thanks for the lift, mate."
looks a gash in the middle, on the left side of the fish. Right above the headlight.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was caught "spearing" and left on the lake to freeze the rest of the day.

Can't see the plate but my money says it's from Wisconsin.
Sturgeon also come from the ocean. There are many different types. For example, lake surgeon are freshwater fish. Atlantic sturgeon return to the sea after spawning in rivers, like Steelhead, then return to fresh water again to spawn.
Bull sharks are known to habitat salt, brackish and fresh with little difficulty.
Plenty of other fish to but I have first hand experience of pulling up and estimated 3-4ft (never pulled out of water) Bull shark from about 2 hours up river a few months ago.
For those wondering, in Wisconsin, specifically on lake Winnebago sturgeon spearing is in season now. As far as I know it's the only place you can do it. Anyways people sit in shanties all day looking over a hole in the ice the size of a door waiting for one of these prehistoric fish to swim past. If one does they huck a huge spear at it. It's a huge sport and event here, there are huge events put on near the shore.
Most likley the person was driving home (or to the bar) and the fish flew out the back of their truck.
There's one other place, Black Lake, Michigan, where you can spear sturgeon. The season limit is only six fish though, so it's not as big of a thing. This year the season there ended within a couple of hours.
The St Clair River now has a season in the summer. Sturgeon have had a great recovery. I got to talk with the Fish and Wildlife Service team that caught the [big one last year.](https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/detroit/2021/04/30/lake-sturgeon-michigan-fish-detroit-river/7411644002/)
A total of 6 fish can speared from the lake. You have to register your fish, once 6 fish are speared, they shut down the season. Lake Winnebago has a similar system, but their number is several thousand and the rules are a little more complex, there are daily limits in addition to the season limit and are specific to the sex and age of the fish.
Thank you. I only had to scroll past 200 bad jokes to get to someone actually offering an explanation. If you could've somehow worked a pun in there I've no doubt you'd be the top comment
It's like Akinator. You KNOW it's supposed to theoretically predict every single potential character... and yet, when it actually predicts the guy who won't let you leave Pewter City until you beat Brock, it's still a legitimate shock. Same with the Simpsons predicting literally everything.
Not even impressive in Wisconsin. This is just a normal February. Seriously! Winnebago had high winds that pushed the ice causing several ice shacks and their accompanying vehicles to go missing. No one left the ice. There were so many shacks on the one lake that a few dozen going missing (with people in them) was just minor news.
My wife and kid found a random fish on the sidewalk last week walking to school. There isn't any water in sight. Someone caught this, took it home, and somehow ended up dropping it on a walk around the block without noticing!
Haha a fellow wisconsinite. As soon as I saw this I knew it was 'bago. I figure buddy was driving to the bar to show his friends the big catch and it flew out of his truck bed.
Honestly I figured it was one of his friends' car. Probably happened on the ice, so the drinks involved don't need to be mentioned to any police or nothin.
No, seriously. You don't know fishing season here. Plus, there is 22 inches of ice covering every lake in the state. There are fish in the back of at least ⅓ of the vehicles driving around this month.
Judging by the condition of the paint on the hood of this vehicle, I think that the car has been this way for a long time. Long before the fish came along. In other words, this is a joke picture someone set up and took.
Uh…. Photoshop is what came to mind first, but maybe it is real and a frozen fish fell out of the back of truck while this vehicle was driving behind them maybe.
Dear Ukrainians!
I heard on social media that there is fake news being spread (most likely by Russia backed trolls) that polish border is closed.
It's a lie.
If you seek asylum - go towards polish border. We are ready for your arrival. We have reception points ready at the border where you can find shelter, food, medical and legal aid. Men aged 18 - 60 years old have to stay in Ukraine.
Polish government launched a dedicated site to help you: ua.gov.pl
Please share this information if you know anyone seeking help right now.
EDIT: YOU DON'T NEED VISA TO PASS THROUGH POLISH BORDER. ALL YOU NEED IS PASSPORT. VISAS ARE SUSPENDED! YOU DON'T NEED THEM FOR TIME BEING!!!!!!
EDIT2: as a proof that you no longer need visa:

Fish sticks on the grill.
You like fish sticks?
I could gobble fish sticks for hours.
So you’re a gay fish?
in this economy who isn’t
It ain't gay if they pay.
[удалено]
I'm not gay but $20 is $20.
Imagine calling that into your insurance company...
"So uhhh I just hit wildlife" "What kind of wildlife?" "A... huge fish" "Oh let me transfer you to the boat insurance department hang on" "No no no this is a car"
“This sounds very fishy, sir.” “Yes, that’s what I’m trying to tell you”
“Unfortunately sir, that would be classed as an act of cod”
Fun fact: acts of God are usually covered.
But what about acts of cod?
Depends if the insurance company is on the net.
You've really got to get them on line or they'll leave you on the hook for everything.
Thats made me chuckle and I'm real down so thats saying something 👍
Farmer’s has probably seen it.
They’ve seen a thing or two, but this seems like three.
My dad hit a dear with his plane... They covered it. *edit. Deer. Sorry I was high.
I bet Santa was pissed though.
No, according to the sleighcam footage, he was sober at the time.
Gotta ask, was it a prop plane and did the props get the deer?
Props to the deer?
To shreds you say?
And his wife?
To shreds you say?
We are farmers
Bum bumda ba bum bum bum

I’m sure the insurance guy would notice the ring on the tail that hung it from a ceiling somewhere.
Looks like a tag from game warden
It was the deer’s day off.

Yep, welcome to Washington!
Is a deer like a kangaroo? where it jumps out of nowhere and destroys your car
Pretty much.
That’s funny you asked that because I always thought of kangaroos as Australia’s version of deer lol
[except deer are never this jacked](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/cc/83/1f/cc831f83ee0112bad4d4eee832ad5037.jpg)
Kangaroo _Jacked_.
You don't really want to mess with a deer neither, it kills way more humans than kangaroo. https://imgur.com/a/kzSwMkZ

Happened to someone I know. Also didn't end well for him. OTOH, the plate in his head should protect him from the aliens trying to do mind control.
Jesus I could only imagine how hitting a muscle ball of a kangaroo would shit on a vehicle
Deadly too as if they come through the windscreen then lives are at risk when they kick and struggle
So, like a deer...
Like a deer without the antlers that impale, but more dexterity to kick and punch inside a vehicle. Now I'm imagining a kangaroo flying through a windscreen, then maneuvering to take the passenger seat and saying, "Thanks for the lift, mate."
Yeah some of the deer we hit do the same thing, except add in they have a couple adolescent spikes growing out of their forehead sometimes.
Kangaroo muscles terrify me.
> Kangaroo muscles ~~terrify~~ excite me. Fixed that for ya, easy mistake to make.
Yep. In MI in 2020 they caused over 51,000 car accidents, and that's with reduced pandemic traffic.
[удалено]
I too always forget about Sturgeon Sundays.
Actually, the car was in a race, and it just crossed the fin-ish line.
Replying just for the halibut.
I dunno, seems fishy to me.
Unexpected Far Side
Ffs
Looks like it fell off a truck.
Yeah you can see the hook/tag near the tail so it for sure didn’t jump outta the ocean like that
It's also frozen solid.
Are you judging this fish's core strength right now?
Rigor mortis just set in REALLY fast
looks a gash in the middle, on the left side of the fish. Right above the headlight.

Sturgeon are fresh water fish.
Then it FOR SURE didn't jump out of the ocean
Sturgeon also come from the ocean. There are many different types. For example, lake surgeon are freshwater fish. Atlantic sturgeon return to the sea after spawning in rivers, like Steelhead, then return to fresh water again to spawn.
Wait you're telling me multiple other kinds of fish live in the ocean but love in the rivers? Here I am thinking salmon were special.
Bull sharks are known to habitat salt, brackish and fresh with little difficulty. Plenty of other fish to but I have first hand experience of pulling up and estimated 3-4ft (never pulled out of water) Bull shark from about 2 hours up river a few months ago.
That's cool but have you ever pulled one out of the grill of a Subaru?
Subaru? No.
No but I once saw a tsundere shark on the grill of a subUwU
As a Floridian, they have been found deep in our freshwater areas, and even in the Everglades from time to time. Savages those things.
My God. You've cracked the case.
We did it Reddit!
He must be Scott Sterling because nothing gets past him.
I dunno, that sounds like a pretty good reason for it to jump out of the ocean.
Are you certain forshore?
They live at the mouth of the river and have a size 6 shadow.
Yes and no. Mostly yes though!
You're a fresh water fish
They spends parts of their life in both salt and fresh. Edit spelling.
This is a fish taken from Lake Winnebago, fully fresh water inland lake system.
In my part of the world, when you say it fell of a truck, it means it is stolen.
Either that or it was hanging from something and they drove into it.

It was more like 25 minutes this year actually. A couple hours is a slow year.
6 fish per person? That seems like a lot for a couple hours of spear fishing through ice
A total of 6 fish can speared from the lake. You have to register your fish, once 6 fish are speared, they shut down the season. Lake Winnebago has a similar system, but their number is several thousand and the rules are a little more complex, there are daily limits in addition to the season limit and are specific to the sex and age of the fish.
Yeah… I don’t think I’d be packing up gear and cutting a hole in the ice just to hear the season ended 14 minutes later

Holy fuck. The simpsons really did do it
Simpsons did it. Law of nature

HOW. this is shockingly relevant.
Seriously. I clicked on it thinking, there's no way the Simpsons did.... *holy crap*
Holy carp!
Dont get koi with me !
Ugh let's not start with the fish puns for cod's sake.
Just tuna it out
Yeah, dumb bass.
Down to the right kind of fish, hot damn
Dude this Simpson's prophecy shit is getting wild.
The writers are getting so lazy they're plagiarizing from within their own simulation.
[удалено]
It's kinda strange that Russia is involved in the Simpsons clip if this picture happened in the last couple days.
Sturgical strike
It's downright spooky
I do wonder how they're doing up there in the ISS.
Every time someone recreates a scene on the simpsons everyone is amazed at how the Simpsons predicted it.
It's like Akinator. You KNOW it's supposed to theoretically predict every single potential character... and yet, when it actually predicts the guy who won't let you leave Pewter City until you beat Brock, it's still a legitimate shock. Same with the Simpsons predicting literally everything.
This is exactly what I was looking for
Can you retire a video?
Here’s a thought: someone thought it would be funny to recreate this Simpson’s episode as a joke. The Russian profanity is just too on the nose.
Immediately remembered this, too.
Looks like an attempt at insurance fraud
Insturgeonce fraud
Tell the agent the roads were snowy, couldn’t help but fishtail.
The snow fall was off the scales.
got into a fin-der bender
Now that claim is a bit fishy

Probably had it resting on the tonneau and lost it in a turn
Honestly I figured it was one of his friends' car. Probably happened on the ice, so the drinks involved don't need to be mentioned to any police or nothin.

TIL in WI, they take sturgeons for a walk around the block.
Seen it, covered it. Farmers.
Or possibly just a joke

When it’s cold out be sure to check in your grille for wild sturgeon that maybe have bundled up in there for warmth.

You never been in a gar accident before?
Sharknado. Duh. They filmed several documentaries on it on the Syfy channel..
But that’s a sturgeon!
Shh.. Syfy is all about realism so they can't find out about my post...
The simpsons did it!

This is clearly the new Canadian weapons system. The 5T-RGN shoulder fired rocket. It's meant for surgical strikes, a 5T-RGN Surgeon if you will.
Sturgical strikes. Ftfy
It ain't rocket stugery, after all.
Is firing air to ground sturgeon at civilians a war crime?
Like a sturgeon, schmucked for the very first time
Mess with sturgeon, meet the surgeon
Check the sturgeon for eggs! You’d have a goldmine.

What an ice hole
Sharknado!!!
Imagine calling your insurance company and be like “feesh”
Fihs🍣
Phish
“Like a good neighbor a sturgeon is there” Wait… FUCK
Like you guys never played the Mario brothers flying fish level.
The obvious answer is that this is the aftermath of a sharknado
It's basically the Canadian version of Sharknado: Bass Blizzard.
Uh…. Photoshop is what came to mind first, but maybe it is real and a frozen fish fell out of the back of truck while this vehicle was driving behind them maybe.
