At Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River, they had sturgeon approaching 20’ long, of course that was 40 years ago

There was a time they caught them more frequently over 1,000 pounds. It's good to see that their protection may have them again getting closer to that size.

They caught and tagged THREE that size.

Nice.

P.S. In Mother Russia, Sturgeon catch you.
