I hope it's not true!

If I brought one that big in close, I'd want to get a pic of me with it!

Now if I could just convince someone to buy me a rod made for them little fish I'd be ready to go!

I caught two over sized in one day and released both after one heck of a fight, one a Ten footer took more than an hour to get to the boat. The only picture I got was of the bruises around my belly area, to much of a man to ask for one of those fighting belts. My point is these fish are of a very hearty species and unless you gut them and put them into the freezer they should be just fine. Most of the over sized ones are older than most of us on this forum..

most of us..

In all honesty it was on the Umpqua river, up stream from Discovery Bay...Wonderful experience non the less.

Go to Bradford Island at the Bonneville Dam. It is one of the best sturgeon fisheries for a shorebound angler.

And that makes sense too... the dam cuts their food for them.

wow JT, if you don't already, you aught to write. I got excited just reading that experience. Felt like I was right there. Now I'm feeling sorry I wasn't.
