Geez! Ive never seen them that big around home.. Usually the ones we catch in the Cedar and Iowa Rivers are only a couple feet or so. I really wanted to fish for the Giant Sturgeon in the Columbia River this last Spring when I was in Washington, but, the guide told me it's not worth going until about the end of May.... They catch them up to 12 feet long up there... Crazy!
Sweet sturgeon you got there!! They are delicious when smoked!
