Rich Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Holy cow, I'd say getting a sturgeon on a bulldawg is more memorable than a musky any day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurik_muff Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 man, this is by far the tastiest fish in this world. who tried it, knows what i am talking about. 2 bad is not a keeper. great catch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siwash Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Given that sturgeon are pretty rare and unique, I'd say you caught a dandy... in fact, given the choice, I'd take a sturgeon over a musky just out of sheer curiosity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highdrifter Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 How deep were you fishing??? Seriously, quit yanking our chains..

scuro2 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 man, this is by far the tastiest fish in this world. who tried it, knows what i am talking about. 2 bad is not a keeper. great catch... Seeing that the Sturgeon is a bottom feeder, they don't mature until 15 to 30 years of age, and can live for 150 years...I'd be a little worried about toxins. Beautiful fish! It gave you the fight of a lifetime, and remember most anglers never catch one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehg Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 That's a cool catch, i would be the opposite of disappointed with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if ya are a total sketch ball!! i SWEAR on my great great great grand pa grave that i hooked it with a bulldawg. did you ever see the hooks on those things. there razor sharp... that sturgeon was minding his own buisness in 8 FOW. then a great big white LURE SMASHED him right on the side of the CORPS. the hook dug right in the fleash and the fight was on.

camillj Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) Wow .. quite a catch ! Even if it was a little 'foul' ... hey ...Ive caught lots of musky and never a sturgeon ... I DID once almost foul hook one too .. when I was casting towards what I thought was a huge boulder on the Ottawa river .... and the behind the boulder was a big smallmouth bass ... anyhow ... as my mepps dragged across the top of this boulder I saw a huge swirl in the mud about 5 feet back .... and the boulder drifted off into the deeper water .... and I realized this was about a 6 foot sturgeon .. only one I have actually seen ... Anyhow .. great catch and release ... next time you'll get your musky Edited June 24, 2009 by camillj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

setomonkey Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Though accidental, that's an awesome catch. I've only seen sturgeon in aquarium tanks, would be cool to see one live in the wild. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greencoachdog Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 yeah that is a nice fish ... but the way i got it. it was a fool hook. hunting for musky. Where did you hook it Kevin?... here in Alabama if a fish is hooked anywhere in the head it is considered a legal catch! You gotta admit that the fight and catching a big fish was worth it! Good on you for removing those disgusting Lampreys!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuchikubo Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Wow, I wouldn't have minded that incidental catch, although it was fouled hooked (as you mentioned), it still would have been one to mark off my list of fish caught! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCTFisher9120 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 A big beauty sturgeon giving you a 10min+ fight. Nothing wrong with that bud, what a extraordinary fish to catch! Congratulations, MTBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
