Details: Green Sturgeon with a Night Crawler
I caught a 28 inch 2 pound sturgeon in 10 FOW with a medium action rod spin cast, 2/0 octopus circle hook and a 1/2 ounce sinker. Had a tag on it so the state of ...more Missouri will pay $25-$150 for information about the fish. The sturgeon seemed weak so I cut the tag off and immediately released it.

I set a bank line using #12 mono and a very small treble hook I had left over from a long time ago. I was fishing for catfish and looked over to see this fish just ...more hanging out with my hook in it's mouth. I took it off the hook, took a picture and let him go. Pretty neat to me =)
