How is venting on here going to help? Did you try and make contact with the fishermen?
He broke a law bringing the fish into the boat. If you wanted to do something you should have reported it. But I agree a lot of guys killing big sturgeon this time of year. A lot of nets killing sturgeon also.

But I agree a lot of guys killing big sturgeon this time of year. A lot of nets killing sturgeon also.thats incorrect . I talked to a warden last year on roosevelt about that and he said that was false and you can absolutely can boat a fish to measure it.
Back in the days when you could keep them, I had one sitting high and dry in my boat for over an hour, it would have easily swam away still. I’m not advocating bad fish handling skills, however sturgeon are incredibly tough and good chance that fish still made it just fine. About 20x as tough as a salmon or steelhead when it comes to handling them in my opinion.
Many used to fish for bigger ones and let the smaller go.They are a tough dinosaur.
