I love watching this family beat up on big fish. Good times!
Keeper Sturgeon length is between 38 and 54 inches. The Columbia river offers keeper Sturgeon fishing opportunities year around. We normally target these fish January through November. But it is always Sturgeon fishing time.
Another limit of keeper sturgeon. Now that's good eats.
The Columbia river, hosts the largest population of Sturgeon in the world. The Columbia river below Bonneville Dam is a major spawning location for the giant oversized sturgeon. These huge prehistoric fish can grow to 20 feet in length and reach weights of up to 2000 lbs. They are the largest freshwater fish in North America. The average however that anglers are able to catch and release is between 6 and 14 feet in length with weights of up to 1000 lbs
We cant take oversized sturgeon of the water for a full fish pictures, but here is the Oregon department of Fish and wildlife survey team to show you what we are fishing for.
To go after these monsters, prepare for a fight of up to an hour. People come from around the world just to feel the power these fish have. All oversized Sturgeon fishing is catch and release, but that won't hinder you from having the time of your life battling a few of these monsters. We normally target oversized Sturgeon May through September.
And this is what your rod looks like for 30 to 60 minutes while you drag the beast in.
Sturgeon fishing is great fun for young and old, with tons of action throughout the day. A Sturgeon trip targeting keepers, oversized or the smaller undersized for children, will definitely give you and your party a day of catching lots of fish to remember.
