Sturgeon while fishing for Perch

[btfc1752]

I was fishing for Perch on Monday and this Sturgeon hit a nightcrawler. I was lucky enough to have another bigger one on for 15 minutes, until the hook popped.

These are amazing fish.

I heard rumors the DEC have been talking about a open season on Sturgeon. I don't think i would want that. Love the fight and beauty of these fish and quick release 

to fight another day.

I hear from Natives they are delicious smoked. Then again, even lakers are probably good smoked.

Why yes they are ( the lakers of course) Especially out of finger lakes. YUM

Don't know about them 29.25 lbs we seem to have in Canandaigua now. they might be a tad bit greasy
