This Sturgeon was caught at TWO CREEKS CONSERVATION AREA,
Wheatley, ON (at Lake Erie) 11/19/2007
It weighed out at over 1,000 lbs and measured out at 11'1'. It was 56" around the girth;
took over 6 and a half hours, and 4 dozen beers, for the 4 guys taking turns at the reeling it in.
Any Sturgeon OVER 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.
Peter, Where did you find that picture? My freinds and I fish Lake Erie every weekend thru summer and have caught a few of these prehistoric fish once every couple of seasons, 20 to 30 inches. Always have heard the rumors of divers have spotted fish that were larger than men exsist. Thats an awesome fish, wonder if the experts guessed at how old the fish was. Anyway thanks for that picture very cool.
Dave, if it was female, do you have to kill it to get the caviar.
