They do get that big,, and that would be a hard photo to fake


I grew up on the Fraser River just south of Vancouver and have heard of
them going over 1500 lbs. That was estimated from skeletal remains.

They're mostly a lot smaller now due to pollution and overfishing in the
past and can live for something like 200 years.

Toothless bottom-feeders won't take a fly anyhow. :0)

That is a Frazer River sturgeon. All C&R there. The record is about 1800#
out of the Frazier.
