Rec'd this in an email today. I don't know if this is current or has been presented on the formu before but I thought I would share. Description in blue is from the email. FYI: This Sturgeon is Still alive, just worn out from the fight. They turned him loose after the photo. This Sturgeon was caught on the Willamette River just below Oregon City two weeks ago. It weighed out at over 1,000 lbs and measured out at 11'1". It was 56" around the girth and took over 6 and a half hours, and 4 dozen beers, for the 4 guys taking turns at the reeling it in. Any Sturgeon OVER about five feet has to be released unharmed and cannot be removed from the water. They are brood / breeding stock and probably older than most of us.

Anyone remember the 1000# catfish at Lake O'the Pines that the news was running for about 4 weeks? LOL!
