[LeroyvdH]

Friend of mines sturgeon yesterday morning..64" length 25" girth behind the front fins..Darkest colour I've ever seen.. He caught the same fish in the same hole 2 weeks ago...Could not weigh it...Any guess's Wayne you'd have a good idea
Thanks Leroy

[jacenbeers]

WOW that is one of the best AB sturgeons I have seen. I love how dark it is and how thick it is around the pectoral fins. Congrats.

Awesome fish:sHa_shakeshout:

My chart says 65#

[ULTRAlite]

Nicely Done!

[huntsfurfish]

Monster! Awesome fish.

[WayneChristie]

Id guess 65 to 70 too. There was one caught in my area not longi ago just a bit longer with a 30 inch girth they were estimating about 80. Some beasts around for sure, what a beautiful fish!

[THERICARDO]

Awesome fish, never seen one that dark before... COngrats awesome fish

[LeroyvdH]

Thanks fishafterwork and Wayne for the estimate..
Building a craddle for weighing them. Didn't want to stick the hook in her gillplate to weigh it.
Thanks Leroy

Sturgeon hound has caught the biggest ones I've seen.

I agree, he is one of the most successful sturgeon hunters ever, Great Guy,,,...


But wow, nice fish man, very nice to see !

[Fish along]

Nice fish ,so one question are they catch and release only ?

[Andy LeClair]

outstanding !!!!

[Fishnafterwork]

Yes
In Canada yes

[AppleJax]

According to the lake sturgeon chart that pig of a fish is 65 pounds. What a beauty!

[OneGirlWolfPack]

He is a nice guy I've fished with him once. He's in the tagging program and uses 2 rods all the time. When there's 2 of them in the boat they use 4 rods.So you can't really say he' the most successful. That's a great fish by the way.

Beauty sturgeon...big Congrats!! Indeed, super dark sturgeon, especially for her size. Mostly all larger sturgeon from the SSR I have seen tend to start turning a lot lighter in color. Anyways, awesome fishy!

I agree, 65-70lbs looks about right.

As far as the master of sturgeon goes I dunno....
I took the gf out for her fist time sturgeon fishing and she caught 6 in an hour and a half:scared0018: Luckiest person I know I tell ya!
Either that or she just has an excellent teacher/guide:acigar:

Thank for sharing, cheers n gl out there:)

I'm going to get a tattoo in honour of sturgeon hound. I was thinking a mythical Greek good riding a sturgeon. Or a Ukrainian eating a ham sandwich... Not sure.

I think he would be very happy if you went with this option! lol

Go with the Ukrainian. Much more appropriate!

[buckbrushoutdoors]

Nice fish, I'd venture a guess around 65#
