Husky Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 FYI: This Sturgeon is Still alive, just worn out from the fight. They turned him loose after the photo. This Sturgeon was caught on the Willamette River just below Oregon City two weeks ago. It weighed out at over 1,000 lbs and measured out at 11'1'. It was 56' around the girth and took over 6 and a half hours, and 4 dozen beers, for the 4 guys taking turns at the reeling it in. Any Sturgeon OVER about five feet has to be released unharmed and cannot be removed from the water. They are brood / breeding stock and probably older than most of us.

Spike-A-Pike Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Holy Sh!!!!!!!!!!t Look at the size of that thing. I always heard about big Sturgeon from my Grandfathers and they always said they were gone for good, I guess someone forgot to tell this one.
