What a great fish! They think it's over 100 years old, just incredible. Don't let the musky guys hear about this though, they might try to ban it because it's "bad for the fishery" (which it isn't, the season is highly regulated and the limited harvest has no effect).

Yes Sir on all counts!

Sounds like the male Sturgeon record was set also.

It is sad to think that it weighs way more than any of the deer I shot last season. HAHA. Awesome fish.

thats a HOGG. I cant imagine how big that fish looked when it came into the hole!

[Gordie]

To me it would be the fight after the spear went in handg on to the rope and feel the burn

[bassNspear]

ya no doubt, i have never done it, and im guessing with a hogg like that, they just dont go to the bottom like some pike do!

[Gordie]

Ive seen what happens when one get hooked on the end of a fishing line and let me tell you that fish just keeps on swimming and it doesnt even know its hooked for quite some time so I can only imagine what it would be like with a speared one.

Oh and thanks spearing machine for posting that

Spearing them is not my thing but I am glad others enjoy it.

Sturgeon are a wonderful species and having grown up eating them I know they taste wonderful too.

I am now a C&R Sturgeon guy but I love to fish for them every year.

It is our annual tradition.

42 and sunny!!!

I wonder if anyone has ever been pulled in the hole from one of those PIGS?
