Fish like this girl are very rare and treasured. In 5 decades of fishing this bests my biggest of a 9’8 from the snake in 1993. Congratulations on what could be the sturgeon of a lifetime.

What an awesome experience guys. I enjoyed every second of your video. Thank you so much for taking the time to record, edit and share with us. You made me feel like I was there with you guys fighting that monster.

I usually prefer the darker colours of clear water fish, but the turbidity of the river really brings out the beautiful pattern of skutes and skin markings on Pacific whites. I'm too old and knackered for this kind of fishing, so living it vicariously through you is a real treat. You may be able to top that with a freshwater stingray from the Mekong, btw. Hint, hint...

Love seeing these videos shot up here in my neck of the woods. I know exactly where you were. I’ll leave the fresh water whales to you. My arthritic hand can’t handle that. I’ll stick to rainbows and pan fish. Thanks for all you do Ty. Great stuff.

It's just an amazing thing to see such a fish, awesome job and what an absolutely legendary sturgeon 🎉 Best part is she lives to swim away, she even came back around to say thanks guys for letting me go. ❤

Fished a pond off the Loup a thousand times when I was growing up. Best fishing of my life. Always enjoy the vids with you and your dad. Thanks man

When everything is so right at the moment you just want to skip rocks ❤️🙌🏼🎣

Dude, that thing was nuts. Any idea how old anybody might think this fish is? It’s crazy to me that a freshwater fish like that is even possible. Thank God you had a team there in order to reel that thing in. Because I don’t think any one person could’ve ever done that. Congrats.

Well maybe the Rock? But even that muscular monster of of man would have had trouble outlasting that beautiful Sturgeon. Thank God they’re now heavily protected from overfishing. I hear they aren’t very good eating anyway & normally the larger the fish or animal, the tougher their flesh is to eat. Or so I’m told. I’m strictly a meat hunter/fisher, not a trophy hunter /fisher. Shooting an animal is never fair or sporting as they’ve no chance against a 30.06 or whatever rifle. And they didn’t sign the waver to be hunted for sport. Sorry for getting off track folk. Just saying I guess. Love the vid though ya’ll did well, treated & carefully released that Sturgeon respectfully, calming her & letting her relax & regain strength before releasing her. She even did a lap back to say thx & that’s awesome & comforting to ya’ll knowing she’s good to go. Congrats fellas, ya’ll rock👍
