DundasSteelheader Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 What a fantastic fish! Wonder how old a fish like that is. I'd also be interested to know what the likelihood that a fish that old fought for 3 hours would survive after being released. Seems to me like it would be hard to recover from.

bare foot wader Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 fish of a lifetime! sturgeon are actually very tough fish, their decline was result of severe overfishing and to a lesser degree loss of spawning/nursery habitat...been a few studies on it, delayed mortality is roughly 2-3% if I remember correctly (monitored for 3 days in holding pens), about 15 years of data since through tagging programs, many fish have been caught numerous times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
