Nice fish i just caught one that was 10 foot out at astoria oregon last weekend and it took 25 mins to pull in

@Meleemaker well the older the meat, the more fishy it tastes, and in my opinion thats bad. You just proved my point more, its endangered, why would people want to eat it? I'm sure the meat isn't that great compared to pickerel, perch, or crappie, and i'm able to catch many of those in and around the ottawa river, there is sturgeon in the ottawa, but its rare, and they can get big, if i ever hook one by accident i'm not going to eat it thats for sure.

@cooldude3001 because "old ass big ones" have more meat than the "young ass small ones"

Besides if you knew anything you would know that Sturgeon(the pallid) is an endangered species fish because of its spawning and reproduction. Males dont mature for 15 years and females take 8 to 12 years. Not to mention all the daming of the missouri river preventing them from swimming up stream as far as they would like. You pull a pallid sturgeon out of the water you can get a giant fine.

Ya load em in your truck take them home , chop them up, put em in the freezer. Feed the guts to the cat.

Hey guys, I have to say, pretty nice handling of the fish, it is rare these days to find such videos on YouTube or any other site. About a minute to take measurements of the fish without really touching the fish nor getting it out of the water (Even though it is pretty darn hard to get such a huge fish out of the water! Haha).

Good job guys, hope you catch more fish like that, you deserve it.

why do people even want to eat sturgeon? especially old ass big ones

[iDoWutiWant1]

@qwerty999110 but they do taste good smoked cuz you can find them at some restuarante

[iDoWutiWant1]

@qwerty999110 it could but best not to eat them now cuz theyre endangered in the US

Thats a huge fish 0.0

Nice catch, and thanks for actually letting him go. :)

I hooked one of these on the snake river once, I was using a regular WORM, and one got a hold of it... while reeling him in, my hat got stuck in the line, I bent over to get it, the sturgeon got the slack, jumped up, and did a barrel roll with my line.
