nice fish. When I lived in Vancouver we always fished for sturgeon and I really put forth a lot of effort. Usually 3 or 4 times a week I would be on the water for at least 3 hours except all day on Sat. I finally caught a keeper after 5 years of fishing while it seemed everone else was always getting them.

When I did finally get him all my buddies teased me that I caught a retarded one because his fins were all messed up but I was and still am proud of myself. That was the only year I caught keepers ( 5 total ) and haven't had any good luck since. Still fun to catch the shakers. So, my question is how long did it take for you?
