I looked up rules, and it appears you can keep them if they're 25 inches and up...but sturgeon don't spawn until they are in the 5-7 year old range, and i'm not sure those smaller ones he was catching would even have roe. I'm sure those guys probably just cut them open, see if there's roe, and toss them if not.

Caviar is the reason these fish are endangered ( idiots). Great job saving that fishes life as well as hopefully letting our kids fish for these beautiful fish in the future.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@618outdoors 2 месяца назад

in illinois the shovelnose sturgeon are not NEARLY as heavily regualted as the Pallid or Lake Sturgeon. The shovelnose is the only species that you can keep and the slot size is 24-32 inches, but I have not been able to find a limit on the number that you can keep.

@russelrogers2540 2 месяца назад

We have green and white sturgeon here in Oregon. They are good eating and there is a slot limit for size on retention. Two fish a week, but you can catch and release all day. First one I caught was twelve foot long and estimated to be around four hundred pounds. One I got last fall was twelve to thirteen foot and looked like 55 gallon drums welded end to end. Took an hour and a half to get it to the boat so we could release it. Sure gives you a workout, but it was a lot of fun.

@OneGoldRogue Месяц назад

Fellow Oregonian here, can confirm, almost got yanked over the side of a boat by one as a kid on a fishing trip with my father, think it broke the line if I remember correctly but I'm not fully sure as it was when I was in like 2nd grade and I'm 22 now haha, they get BIG for sure though.

Sturgeon are an interesting species. I've spent my time chasing them here on the columbia. My PB is 16ft white sturgeon. There are historical pictures in local museums of 20footers! They are extremely long lived with an average of 100 years for 10 ft. And yes that is very much a shark tail. Sturgeon and sharks are very closely related.

Sturgeon size is quite varied by species, the largest White Sturgeon landed in Idaho was 1500 pounds and 22 feet long. It was caught on a trot line. There used to be sturgeon twice that size around the Caspian Sea. When I was in school for aquaculture we had a sturgeon 84 inches long that was still probably a juvenile White Sturgeon.

The Chain of Rocks Intake Towers were built to draw water from the Mississippi River for the St. Louis Water Works. The first tower was constructed in 1894 and designed by William S. Eames, resembling the famous Moure Tower in Germany. It’s still in use today and has been designated as a St. Louis City Landmark1. The second tower was built in 1915 due to the inadequate intake capacity of the older tower to meet the city’s water needs2. Both towers are part of the Chain of Rocks Water Treatment Facility, which was the largest filter plant in the world at its construction time
