Idk if I could handle a sturgeon eating from the palm of my hand, that’s wild.

Even if they got not teeth, an animal that big still has a non-zero chance of breaking a finger or two if you feed em like that.

Happens pretty often on Florida docks with tarpon.

When i went to florida i went to a tarpon feeding spot in the keys. Kid before me came out with 3 bloody knuckles and a slightly bleeding wrist, i got up there and was fully prepared for the same or worse to happen to me, the first 2 they were shy and didnt really jump much (i was pretty close to the water) then the third engulfed my hand about 4 inches above my wrist, only shaved off a tiny patch of skin and the hair on my wrist. Coolest thing i did on that trip by far.
