That's really exciting news Ohio.  I love when efforts are made to repopulate our waters with native species, especially ancient ones like sturgeon. 

I've never ever seen a sturgeon in the wild in my life!  

Mike, I have never seen one in the wild myself. There has been a few news reports over the years here of an occasional catch, but very few and very far between. 

I watched a video earlier this year of Mark Zona and Jordan Lee fishing Lake St. Clair, Jordan hooked one the estimated to be around 100 pounds, he played it for a long time but lost it.

Wonder if sturgeon eat gobies too?

Canuck, just guessing with a sturgeon's mouth being on the bottom of their face that bottom dwelling fish like gobies would be a prime meal for them? Aren't sturgeon typically bottom dwellers?

Gil, when I was very young I remember my dad talking about ice fishing for burbot " lawyers " at a place about 50 miles east of Cleveland, I don't know of anyone that has caught them recently. I was surprised to see them in the diving videos, most people I know don't bottom fish in those kind of depths though.
