2 different 48" sturgeon I caught in lake superior this last week. Both on 8lb braid with 8lb fluoro leader and a small walleye deadstick rig. 24" light fast rod.. First one was a 25 minute fight and second one took me 20 minutes to land. Both BARELY fit up my 8" ice hole.

that shits wild


whats your guys rules on keeping sturgeon ?

out here its pretty strict

Sturgeon
The recreational fishery for white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) remains open year-round. The daily bag and possession limit is one fish that must be between 40 inches and 60 inches fork length. The annual limit is three (3) sturgeon per person.

Short or oversized sturgeon must be released unharmed immediately; note that white sturgeon greater than 68 inches fork length may not be removed from the water prior to their immediate release. No snare may be used to assist in taking sturgeon. Only one single barbless hook may be used on a line to take sturgeon. The sturgeon must voluntarily take the bait or lure in its mouth. No sturgeon may be taken by trolling, snagging, or by the use of firearms. Sturgeon may not be gaffed, nor shall any person use any type of firearm to assist in landing or killing any sturgeon. Any person fishing for sturgeon shall have in their possession a non-transferable Sturgeon Fishing Report Card and complete it in accordance with California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 27.92.

Green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris) may not be removed from the water, taken, or possessed at any time. Green sturgeon must be released immediately without being removed from the water.

Nice ryba

Yeah we have pretty restricted rules too. Only 1 per year can be kept with a special permit all others must be released unharmed. I don't eat them personally, I have tried it before and didn't think it was very good. I have a freezer full of walleye and rainbow/lake trout already. Also the sturgeon come from a very polluted water system (St. Louis river) and they suggest very limited consumption of fish from here. Still crazy fun to catch there is nothing quite like it. When you set the hook expecting a 15" walleye and all the sudden the fish on the other end does a 50+ yard run and all you can do is hold and and hope your drag is set right
