Caught this 4.5' 50lb sturgeon yesterday off the bank of the fraser river. It was an easy fight till she realised that she was hooked, then it was on. 20 min later.
they are just good for sport fishing. They are a protected species. So its all CRfender66 said:That's pretty cool. What are those fish good for? Anyone eat them?
oh yes they can be up to 8-10 feet. Here's a random picture i found on the netBaitCaster said:Nice going. I've seen a few TV shows about fishing for Sturgeon in BC. They can be huge!

oh yes very fun. and very strong !!! I just picked up a new rod and reel for $50 el cheapo but it will do what I need. (I jam it into the rocks) The 80-100lb braidedline is the costly part.bcbouy said:i accidently caught a 6 footer while salmon fishing 2 years ago. it took 1 jump and destroyed my wifes salmon rod. she was not happy.my biggest last year was just under 5 ft. very fun when you use the proper rod.

Crazy. WE have them here in the Great Lakes, also a protected species. I've never seen or heard of one caught though.
Rootin' and sniffin' and urgin' to spawn. =D>bearsphan3.14 said:That is awesome. I have wanted to catch one of those bad boys since I first heard a Primus song about them.
