maxwell Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 well u make a 1000 casts a day in this river for the past few years and u eventually pull up another sumn sumn uve never caught before... got this frigger a few weeks back and forgot too post it.... he misteriously got decapitated shortly after the photograph Quote
Slyangler Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Wow...I would imagine that must have been quite a suprise? Kind of makes you wonder how many Goldfish do end up in the river?? Most would likely make for easy prey, but any introduction of non native species however small is cause for concern and should not be treated lightly. I think it was wise to remove him from the river Maxwell...good on ya! Cheers!! Quote
maxwell Posted June 17, 2008 Author Posted June 17, 2008 yup i here ya dude.. seen a few pics of em posted before on ffa and other sites..... for the record it wasnt a juvenile shorthead redhore sucker like others have mentioned tooo. had an upturned mouth and no suckerish type lips.. dotn even think we got em in teh bow for that matter......

tgo Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 weird man, i'm surprised a bright fish like that would last long in the bow...I know they don't really live in rivers, but are you sure it's not a golden shiner? Pretty common baitfish and looks pretty close to the fish in the picture. Quote

Hawgstoppah Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 My exwife? Weirdest catch ever. LMFAO..... nice.....good to see you practice C&R Quote
Hawgstoppah Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 and a sturgeon! I did tell you about my strugeon didn't i? foul hooked it while nymphing about 6-7 yrs ago fishing the mouth of the 'wood in the spring... the dang thing was about 45 to 50 inches and probably about 20 pounds or more maybe 30. It was the coolest thing. I got an old pic somewhere, but I don't have a scanner (it's a old 35mm film shot...) Quote
clarki Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 if your sturgeon was 45-50 inches then you are defintitely looking at a 30 pound fish probably more like 35 would be my educated guess. my biggest so far this year is a 52 incher! got totally dominated by a couple others too that would have pushed the 55-60 inch club which would put it at or near 40-50 pounds. sturgeon, what a fish!!!
