My record size Sturgeon so far..... She was a very large Female measured along side my boat at 6 ft 4 inches. Did not attempt to take her out of the water, as she was diffinantely over size and needed to be released to produce more sturgeon in our delta. Gave me a great fight and certainly made for a great night out on the water. I also hooked two more that night. One near the same size, but had to cut the line, as it got wrapped around my boat,s prop. Later I caught a third Sturgeon within the slot limit, that I took home for some excellent meals!
