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.

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

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

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  Luckiest person I know I tell ya!
Either that or she just has an excellent teacher/guide 
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.
