A monster white sturgeon weighing an estimated 1,100 pounds and measuring 12 feet, 4 inches was caught and released on the Fraser River, a British Columbia waterway famous for its big sturgeon...just not this big.

Holy Moly.

Are you sure that isn't the new state record out of rainy?

That looks like it was well worth the guide fee!

I bet that mama would give a guy a serious case of arm burn.

This spring I'm heading out there to get some of these mommas. I can only hope I get one half as big!

give it time... when the story is forgotten... the picture will still be around with all kinds of silly stories im sure

I hope a scale sampled had been taken for research.. would be interesting to see how long that guys been cruising around

About how much would a guided sturgeon trip out there cost? I'd love to get out there for a sturgeon/salmon outing

[fishuhalik]

It's around $150-200/day per person. That's for everything. Tackle, rods, gas, guide fees etc.

Wow, that is a heck of a good deal to tangle with some 200# sturg!

yup a group of 4 can go out for well under a grand for a day of fishing! We're trying to plan a future whitewater trip down the Fraser, and since I'll be there I might as well cap it off with a final day of fishing for white sturgies
