Yesterday's Weapons Forums

Older daughter's hubby is a long haul trucker. Last week, he delivered & picked up in Portland where he had to take a "rest period". A fellow he knows from a gaming site invited him out fishing on the Columbia where he caught 5 sturgeon the largest of which is this 5' 90 pounder.

We just had a fish fry for family supper & I really like it! Very mild and no bones! Now if I can persuade the usual suspect to score me a tin or two from the Russian store near his place, we'll try caviar next. SW

nice fish - those are not something we would get to eat around here normally - not that we dont have them - we do just not on the regular menu due to regulations and not all that easy to catch here , ive yet to try it but one day i will

im not a great fan of caviar either - that i have had - but there are certain things that just dont make me hungry enough to dig into , you may enjoy it very much tho ,

Might be a different species than the freshwater version if it's the Columbia of Oregon...

Freshwater version is endangered/protected here. Lake Winnipeg was practically devoid of sturgeon by the early 1900's- Fished out for, you guessed it- caviar.

I don't care for the taste of sturgeon. Wife loves it. I caught a tiny one in the Red R. at Lockport 2 years ago and released it without pulling it from the water. Barbless hooks make life easier in some respects...
