First time Sturgeon fishing

maybe they do....lol

Apparently it is ok to call someone an ass on here, I guess we should start taking advantage of that!

And Chris, there are quite a few people on here who keep sturgeons

Well the fish we caught was about 25 years old so they would be ok for a little bit in a pond or tank but what would you do when it gets 5 foot let it go into the wild. And i cant believe that it is legal to keep them there are way to many laws about catching them.

Some species like sterlet and shovelnose surgeon rarely get more than 2'-3'.

Shovelnose can get up to 60", and have been on the endangered species list since 1990.

Sterlets can reach about 4'.

Well we are obviously talking about white and yes the shovel is very endangered. That is what is in the picture. if you hook a shovel you cant even bring it out of the water.
