That is one fish I spent more than a few hours trying to catch without ever getting a bite. Good luck to you!

wohoooooooooo I had such a great day - 10 hours on the river - and I actually caught 2 sturgeons - not as big as the one them guys in the photo are holding but for my 5'2" body the 3.5' and 4' sturgeons I managed were hard enough - I never felt a fish jump and roll like these dino-fish-a-saurus - amazing and these little buggers have sharp spines compaired to them big guys. I discovered bruises on parts of me I didn't know I had trying to fight them fish.

I get to go again this weekend and hopefully get into a bigger one - with my luck I will be swimming with the fishes if I hook into a 7 footer or more - need duct tape to hold me in the boat lol

I did take some nice scenery pics as well as got a few shots of the sturgeon - now if I remember how to submit them I will .

Thems is some cute little sturgeon! Good luck on getting that 7 footer!

Is there a size bracket on keepers? I can't recall exactly what it was when I was trying to catch them when I was in the bay area in Cali but they had to be so long but not over in order to keep.

i'll have to dig up some pics but about 3-4 yrs ago i went on a guided sturgen fishing trip for "oversized" fish. here i think they have to be between 42" -60" to keep them . anyway we were just after big fish and we caught 7 fish over 8 feet long! they were monsters!! the biggest one was 9'6"long and the guides guessed it weighed at least 400 lbs. it seemed like the bigger they got the more likely they were to jump out of the water and look like they were walking on there tail. it was awsome!!! i'll try and dig up some photos to scan and post
