Giant Sturgeon Caught, Released
11/04/2009 03:20
This Sturgeon was
caught on the Willamette River just below
Oregon City.
It weighed out at over 1,000 lbs and measured out at 11'1". It was 56" around the girth and took over 6 and a half hours for the four guys taking turns at the reeling it in.
Any Sturgeon OVER about five feet has to be released unharmed and cannot be removed from the water. They are brood / breeding stock and probably older than most of us.
SINC SAYS:
Now there’s one fish story that is true. What a monster!
