I heard while working on the snake river dam the giant sturgeon there would bat divers with their tails so often that they started running out of divers from all the quiting. Never heard of any attempting this though.

I caught one last summer on a rubber jig. You talk about a bite!! Line jumped 2 ft in the black light. Thought I had the world record small mouth for a second. Then maybe a big flat head. But was a 5 ft sturgeon.

The army corp of engineers dive team all got scared to death while investigating a suspiciously deep hole in the green river in Scottsville Kentucky. They said there was catfish and paddle fish 4 times the size of humans.

sturgeon bites look like a small bullhead nibble on the Columbia until you set the hook.

Wouldn't blame her a bit.


Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

There's a sturgeon petting zoo near me at Freshwater Farms of Ohio. It's on State Route 68, just North of Urbanna, Ohio. They are the largest producer of indoor raised trout. They are a fish hatchery too. It's free to take a self guided tour there.

They host the Ohio Shrimp and Fish Festival every year.

There are probably many different types of sturgeon. But that don't look like any I have seen.
