My First Sturgeon!

[Angler]

Hello!

It's been awhile since I went fishing, and I got a bonus from the River!

I caught my first Sturgeon!!! That was a wicked fight! More than 20 min, that fish is a pure muscle! 49 inches long, and around 35-40 pounds according to the Length/weight/age chart I found.
That was a pure blast!!!

My biggest catch so far!

That as a very emotional day for me, and I wanna share with you guys video I made landing my first River Monster!

Awesome man! I started targeting sturgeon 2 years back. I’m hooked. There’s nothing else like it in Alberta for feeling raw power. Especially when they leave the Eddie and hit the mainstream current. I don’t even like lake fishing anymore. River fishing is where it’s at.

That’s a great catch. Good for you. Those fish can really pull hard. Hope ya catch a bigger one next time.

[Weavster]

Awesome catch this fish is still on my bucket list!

[Stinky Buffalo]

Was just talking with another fisherman last week about fishing the NSR... And I thought, "man, catching a sturgeon would be a real treat!"

Congrats on your river monster!

[Angler]

Thanks guys!
I hope catching the second one, not gonna take as long as first one! Lol

Nothing is better than your first sturgeon. The more I fish for sturgeon the less I want to fish for walleye

Ain’t that the truth!

I made the mistake of fishing the Fraser for white sturgeon, now even salmon and halibut fishing have lost their appeal, aside from the meals they provide.

Awesome!

The sole reason I fish rivers for walleye is simply to catch a trophy and to be able to bring a few fish home (I keep a slot size between 20 and 24in). It seems that only the trophies put up any kind of fight. A 5lb redhorse puts up a better fight than nearly any walleye I've ever caught.

Have you ever fished for smallmouth bass? Terrific fighters.

You're preaching to the choir :sHa_shakeshout:

That's a fact.

Caught my first one around 7pm one evening and I was still vibrating going to bed at midnight, what a rush!

Went to my secret Stergeon spot tonight, looks like it's not so secret anymore :(

I might see one other person at my spot in years past, tonight there were three groups of people plus a boat at my honey hole. Guess nothing good lasts forever..
