deziped Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Fella caught this last week in Willamette River in Oregon City. Took 4 guys over 6 1/2 hours and 4 dz beers to reel it in. Weighed in at 1000#, had a 56" girth and 11' 1" long, estimated to be around 100 years old. It probally pumps out 55 gal drums of caviar at a shot. Oh, they let it go back. Image Not Found[/img]

tkgibbs27 Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 my dad must have seen that or something because he just came in here about two hours ago "come on, let's go sturgeon fishin" i can't because i gotta finish some homework for the end of the semester. so i am going sturgeon fishin' tomorrow. ha chances are we won't get anything that big though. that's a beast.
Tracker Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 I wonder what they caught this one on? I couldn't help but notice the size of the mono on the rig the guy in the pic is holding.
tkgibbs27 Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 squid, smelt, shad, or eel maybe? those are real good baits for sturgeon. i might go sturgeon fishing with my dad tomorrow, since i didn't go today.
jtdesigns Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 http://www.canadaka.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=16559 ???? It looks like it was a caught in Canada... :dunno:
deziped Posted March 1, 2008 Author Posted March 1, 2008 that article & pic was posted in the Oregonian News Paper out of Portland OR so I'm inclined to believe it as they are only a couple miles from Oregon City where the fish was supposedly caught. But what the hey, its one big fish unless some skeptic can prove it's a doctored photo. Anythings possible these days.

TNT Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 Great fish. :eek: I'm glad to see they released it. :D It's 100 years old or so and deserves to live as long as possible.
