00:00Giants Beneath, the Massive Fish Swimming Through American Waters
00:04A white sturgeon can grow longer than a fishing boat.
00:08Across American rivers, lakes, bays and offshore waters,
00:12giant fish glide, feed, surface and disappear beneath deep water.
00:17The white sturgeon swims through Pacific Northwest Rivers
00:20carrying an armored body that can reach more than 20 feet.
00:24The ocean sunfish drifts through coastal waters
00:27with a flat round body that can weigh thousands of pounds.
00:31The alligator gar cruises southern rivers and reservoirs,
00:35using a long snout and heavy scales to hunt fish.
00:38The Atlantic bluefin tuna races through U.S. ocean waters,
00:43powering through waves with a muscular body built for speed.
00:47The goliath grouper hides near Florida reefs and wrecks,
00:50where its huge mouth can swallow smaller fish in one burst.
00:53The Greenland shark moves slowly through cold northern waters,
00:58carrying a massive body and a lifespan that can stretch for centuries.
01:03The lake sturgeon swims along Great Lakes bottoms,
01:06stirring sand and mud with a long armored frame.
01:10The swordfish cuts through offshore water with a long bill,
01:13strong tail and powerful body made for deep hunting.
01:17The halibut lies flat on cold seafloors,
01:20using its wide body to ambush prey near Alaska and the Pacific coast.
01:25These giant fish share one pattern.
01:28Deep water, rich food,
01:30and enough room let bodies grow to shocking sizes.
01:33When a huge shadow passes under a boat,
01:36American water suddenly feels much deeper.
