White Sturgeon, Landed At Last | Monster Fish | Destination Adventure 

BC board of tourism owes you BIG!!

Ok. This is SO COOL!!! You were in my backyard for this episode!!!! I love all these rivers and lakes so much. Wow. I loved this one. And the tuck looked fantastic with the upgrades. Amazing episode. Thanks Dustin. I know I say it alot- but a lot of people would drop everything for a meet and greet with you. !!!!!

Sturgeon refers to a family of large, long-lived, and primitive fish species known as the Acipenseridae family. Here are some key points about sturgeon: 1. Appearance: Sturgeon have a distinctive appearance with elongated bodies, scaleless skin, and a shark-like tail. They have bony plates called scutes instead of scales and a cartilaginous skeleton. The family includes various species, such as the Beluga, Russian, and Atlantic sturgeon. 2. Habitat and Distribution: Sturgeon are found in freshwater and saltwater habitats in various parts of the world. They are native to regions like North America, Europe, and Asia, depending on the species. Some species, like the Beluga sturgeon, are known for their long migrations in large river systems. 3. Size and Lifespan: Sturgeon can grow to impressive sizes. Different species have varying sizes, but some can reach lengths of over 10 feet (3 meters) and weigh hundreds of pounds. They are also known for their long lifespans, with some individuals living for well over 100 years. 4. Caviar: Sturgeon are famous for producing prized roe, known as caviar. Caviar is highly valued for its taste and texture. However, overfishing and habitat destruction have led to a decline in sturgeon populations and the need for conservation efforts to protect these species. 5. Conservation Status: Many sturgeon species are considered endangered or critically endangered due to factors such as habitat loss, pollution, and overfishing. Their slow growth, late maturity, and vulnerability to environmental changes make them particularly susceptible to population decline. Sturgeon are fascinating prehistoric fish that play an essential ecological role in freshwater and marine ecosystems. Efforts are being made to protect and conserve these unique species to ensure their survival for future generations (totally not stolen from AI)

Ah yeah my favorite Saturday morning show! My brother and I went salmon and sturgeon fishing all the time on the Columbia river and man where they fun to catch and eat 😋 The other white fish ! When i was a kid there was a Sturgeon that washed up on lake Washington shore that weighed over a thousand pounds massive and older than dirt lol 😆 cool catch Dustin 😎

That was a big smile episode, after all the hard days wrenching back at the ranch. Beautiful B.C. ! 🫶🍁🤙

Another bit of beautiful cinematography Always knock it out of the park Dustin…just gets better and better…👍🏼

That looked like so much fun!! (and a lot of work lol) I haven't been fishing in forever, I would sure love to try for a sturgeon though. The big ones to get where I fished growing up were Muskie, definitely a good fight too. Thanks for taking us with you :)

Oh Dustin! In you we be trustin! For cool adventures and beautiful scenery we thank you.

Dustin, always love seeing a notice of a new video from you, this was absolutely beautiful scenery and great fishing trip too .

I thought I recognized that hill line! Looks like you enjoyed Harrison!

I really enjoyed the "sturgeon cam" shots as you led him back out. Amazing!

Loved the scenery and fishing.

When I was a kid growing up in Abbotsford in the 70s, we could keep Sturgeon, and I had eaten plenty of them back then.

Nice catch! We've got Sturgeon in the North Saskatchewan River near us, but they don't get that big around here 🚤🐟🎣

This is why I love Canada Great job

Snake River and the Comubia River are excellent place's to fish for them also. Great video Dustin

Heck Ya!! Awesome video and beautiful, big fish!!

What a fun video adventure! Huge powerful fish! The next adventure is building....

How was the arms next day love sturgeon fishing fished with fraser river monsters got a biiggie 11’2 n 10’2

Don't go chasing waterfalls. Please stick to the rivers and lakes that you're used to 😂😂😂

Thank heavens for your partners there,we would have lost you. Unbelievable the size.

WOW!!! Thanks Dustin. Gotta get me some of that.

While TLC says NOT to go chasing waterfalls, I would say that one was worth it! And those Sturgeons were absolute beauties!! Great catches and thanks for sharing it all with us!!

Always great videos! Appreciated!!!

Good for you Dustin. Amazing fish. I hate it when I loose a fish because the hook stays in their mouth causing all kinds of problems. We love BC. The scenery is amazing . Cheers Man ! 👊😎👍

Thanks awesome video I enjoyed seeing your country

Somebody got a good workout. Love the video. ❤

What an amazing adventure with friends. I am so glad that you got to land three of the Sturgeons. Most people only dream of what it would be like. I do love your adventures, but one of the things I love the most is the miracle of God's creation and the beauty of it! God bless you and keep you safe on your adventures from Minnesota!

Awesome video Dustin,i used to live in Mission for many years,brings back some memories and Beautiful Harrison lake (spent a lot of time exploring that area) God's country! )..Thanks for sharing Dustin,love your videos ,stay safe.

Tell your buddy that they make belts to hold the butt of your rod so you're not digging into your junk all day lol.. looks like a total blast! I want to play!

Beautifully shot those vista, thanks brother for posting this one , oh nice fish too no need for a workout at the gym after those beasty 💯👍🏼🤟🏼🤙🏼🖖🏼

Does anyone know if Dustin is alright or is he still making videos? It’s been a few weeks since he posted anything

Morning from the south Okanagan, thanks for the video. Congratulations on that nice sturgeon!! Heading west to do some sturgeon fishing is on my personal bucket list for sure. Safe travels.

WOW!!... that's what i call a monster fish..... great job Dustin!!!😉 have a great weekend!! greetsz from holland/friesland...max

You're better at catching sturgeon than you are crab! 🤣 Nice work man!

Awesomness Sat morning tv ❤Thanks ✌️

This was so cool to watch! You're a pro 😅 That area is beautiful especially that waterfall. I dub this one Destination Sturgeon.

THANKS KEVIN AND LEE

Man oh man NICE FISH! As Ted Peck would have said!!! Great video Dustin !

Wow well done. What a beauty. Great Job Dustin. Catch ya in the next one.

Great adventure it made me want some caviar. Keep it up Spring is upon us.

Legend, another awesome video.

So fun to watch you having a blast out there!

Looked like you all had a great time!

FISH ON!!! Great video of a great time! Thank you Dustin for sharing your adventure with us! Loved the waterfall hunt as well. By the way, the cabinet doors look great on the truck!

Great fishing video. Those things sure are amazing creatures. ! Nice to see the rehooking and care taken for its wellbeing. Thanks for including a waterfall!

Really enjoying your videos

88” = 7’ 6” ??? That sounds like my kind of fish measurement! Haha! Great catch Dustin!

Wow. That’s amazing 😮

That was really cool to see!

WOW how cool are they.....

So, you mentioned in a video, that winter traction on RU-vid was challenging for you. Turns out RU-vid had unsubscribed me from your channel. I was sitting there and thought "wonder why he hasn't uploaded?" Well, I started watching your videos id missed, then, realized I wasn't subbed anymore. Glad I'm back.

Congratulations that’s an awesome trip to do. Thank you for bringing us with you

Wow, I have caught many trout and a few salmon but never landed a sturgeon. I was river fishing for dollys once and something big busted my line in the North Thompson River but I never saw what it was, that would be such a thrill to land one of those monsters.

We have these in Northern CA also. Lake Shasta, where I'm from. They live rights up against the Dam. GIANT catfish, too.

You can fish ,but you don't ABSOLUTELY NOT TO KILL IT BUT REALESE IT BACK.

Hello.. Isaac here. Im in Palmer Alaska. Love your videos. I have a little cab over camper/truck too. Boats, snowmachine, side by side. Come visit. I'll help you get some great footage.

🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼 Best fighting fish. I used to get 3-6 footers right under the Alex Farser bridge on the Delta side.

You've energized me. I want to land my first sturgeon this year despite many hours of near fruitless fishing. (couple of hook ups)

Used to catch massive Sturgeon on the San Francisco Bay and up the Sacramento Delta. Maybe 30 years ago. Back then we kept them and ate them. Sturgeon steaks are very tasty! I believe in California now there are size limits. You cannot take them over a certain size. Because they take so long to mature and be able to reproduce. I think reproductive age is up around 20 years old. One of the biggest we caught was well over 8 feet, and 150 pounds or so. Took two of us to lift it. From what I understand they can get over 20 feet and weigh upwards of several thousand pounds! And yes, they are a challenge to catch. Put up one hell of a fight!

That was totally awesome

Dustin, I've watched most of your adventures. Something I ve never heard you mention. Sasquatch, Bigfoot, etc. From what I see, BC is where these forest folk have concerts. I'd like to hear your insight.

Hello what size reels do you recommend for these sized sturgeon you're catching?? thank you!

Dustin, I love your videos, I like the direction and your life style. I'm a bit jealous.

Great video awesome

Now that’s cool!!!!!!!

So with these might Stugeon, is this just a battle of strength and stamina? They get to a point where they are basically just tired out and can't fight you any longer? (As they seem quite dosile once in the shallows there). They do look magnificent though, and Harrison lake, it reminded my very much of Loch Ness over here in the UK - looking beautiful in the setting sunlight there ❤ Must be great finally getting back out after all the maintenance and thanks to Kevin and Lee there too ☺👍

Gotta love it when you can you go out and catch a bunch of 6 foot fish all day and still go home knowing you didn't get THE BIG ONE.

Man, those dino-fish are cool. Great trip, and good respect to the animals shown.

I grew up in Chilliwack/Harrison area , my aunt from X is manager of Stones . there have been a few sightings of 20 ft + sturgeon in Harrisson lk seen by heli's and planes . 5 ft was my biggest back when could keep but dindt want and let go in Cascade bay on the lk

Oh man, great video, I've hooked into some sturgeon down in Cali but haven't landed one yet. Maybe this year.

Nice catches, can't wait to see what next. Have a good weekend 🖐

Another epic video Dustin! Im surprised you dont use the belts or chairs to hold your poles in, that people use when they go deep sea fishing. Those Sturgeon were amazing!

It was interesting to see a living sturgeon. I know way back they were humongous. Beautiful B.C.

Looks like you had better luck with sturgeon than you did with salmon, lol. Great adventure!

Way way cool! A day you surely will never forget. In case your wondering, they taste and have the texture of Halibut. My brother caught one in the 90's and was allowed to keep a smaller one at that time. Same area there around Hope. You lucky bas*ard!

In 1980 i went to a pub in Nelson and in the bed of a pickup there was a Sturgeon whose tail stuck out the back, this was back when pickups had 8ft beds, and then you ended up in Sasquatch County, have you ever seen or heard signs?

The biggest fish I ever caught was a Srurgeon on the Rainy River (Minnesota side). Took me about an hour to get it landed and an experience I will never forget!

I caught a 108” fish in 2022 I will never forget it. What an incredible experience

Nicely done. Have you thought about visiting the communities at the north end of Harrison Lake? Might be interesting.

Amazing fish! I have seen some good sized ones pulled out of the North Saskatchewan west of Saskatoon.

Awesome 👏 someday I hope to get a sturgeon !! I’m only 45 minutes from where they catch them in Alberta near bow island.

Caught a southern sturgeon before in the Florida rivers. Crazy looking thing.

There’s a lake north of me called Turtle Lake and local legend says it’s inhabited by a monster which most people believe is a giant sturgeon. It’s never been seen on camera or caught but people still think it’s down there somewhere.

Hi Dustin. I don't want to sound like a Mother but you should have some type of flotation device onas a lot can go wrong in a hurry. I had one jump and hit me in the boat and I went backwards almost knocking my partner out the other side. Ken

dang Harrison Lake is only 30 min from me. Safe Travels Dustin

oh , how awesome ! very good content ... very entertaining ... thanx Dustin ❤😊

My brother and I were going to charter to go fishing for sturgeon ,sadly he passed away in a work place accident before we ever had a chance . Your a lucky man

What awesome fish. Good to see you out in BC again!

Great show. We're you able to walk the next day. You had a workout. Great fish. What a great supporter

Hey where’s Mick??? Didn’t ya wanna bring him??? 😅😅😅

This is a dream of mine! Everyone I was a little kid and watched a documentary with my dad about them. Great video as always my dude!

Definitely another bucket list thing to do. Ive heard stories of people tryinf to catch sturgeon and been dragged from the hope area to the mission bridge just fighting them

Hope you were wearing a jock strap…that looked painful 😅

Your cinematography is next level! Love the video

Hey Mick Chanic, get a load of this guy. He caught a few little fish, probably thinks he's a real fisherman now, eh? 😜

Step stool/Ladder maybe attached to the side door would work, fold up when not in use. When its down it can be used as a door stop/holder.

HOLY COW! "FISH" This is NOW ON MY BUCKET LIST! MAN THATS SO AWESOME!!!! NICE ONE!!!

I worry about the stress on these fish - caught and released repeatedly. They are tagged so there are stats on this with the pro guides. I understand the thrill and excitement on landing one but still….
