Caught a big old sturgeon while catfishing thought you guys would like a look at this crazy dinosaur fish. Biggest I've ever pulled out of the water it was a great fight and a clean release back into the river I hope one day 20 years down the road I catch him again when he's 8 feet long and the species has recovered its numbers. REMEMBER PEOPLE STURGEON MUST BE RELEASED WHERE YOU GOT THEM QUICKLY IF YOU CATCH ONE, THEY ARE ENDANGERED AND MUST BE RESPECTED SO FUTURE GENERATIONS CAN HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THESE BEAUTIFUL CREATURES. Hope all have wonderful experiences fishing this summer and years to come.
