I missed this post. Well if true on that 43 then certainly could be 130. Pretty cool he caught it on the last day of a 6 day trip and anniversary of his pop's passing 11 years to the day. Great stuff, a memory that will last forever.

mine was 72.5 inches long and 24 inches in girth. look at his pic its no fatter than mine was. the one from the NSR was a whole lot fatter than this one .. Im not disputing the stories but Ive measured and tagged over 700 of them and theres no way in this universe that girth is 43 inches it would look like the A and W rootbear

Lol, and just for comparison... I'd bet that the dude on the right wears pants with about a 43" waistline... just going on that I'd have to agree with your assessment of the fish in question, though I'm no sturgeon expert.

All arguments aside, to land a beast like that from the banks of a swollen river must have been epic. Total respect for Wayne and the folks that landed the one in the picture above in the jet boat. Let's give buddy some credit. It's a hawg sturgeon. I've caught my share of verified 20-28lb pike.. Let one slip out of my grasp in rough water that was close to twice that size once...Lots of my buddies called b.s. and I don't even talk about it anymore. Once in a lifetime only happens once and I'm sure a few hardcore anglers can relate. Great sturgeon catch, give buddy his moment, it might be you sharing a picture or story someday.

It was caught a while back, and thats from the biologists not the fisherman she is the fish Im chasing, probably never meet her but a mans gotta dream  |
Not me or my pic.
