She gave us a great fight, breaching twice and giving Dean quite a
thrill as he fought his first sturgeon ever. She weighed in at 38
pounds and measured 55 inches. She fell for - as usual - eel.

Dale, just curious, but what do you do with all that sturgeon? Maybe
you've mentioned this before but I missed it. Do you mount them? Do
you eat it? How do you cook it? The only sturgeon I've eaten was
smoked. It came from the Columbia River up north. It was very good
eating. We fished near Bonneville Dam all day and caught only one but
it was too big to keep, so we ended coming back to SJ with smoked
sturgeon from a cousin of my friend who lives in Portland.
If you need help, I can take some of your catch and smoke it in my
Kamado smoker. G Heck, I'll even smoke yours! (I use only aged
cherry wood - no charcoal!)

We release most sturgeon caught. Unless you are part of the Russian Mafia,
that run major sturgeon poaching rings in Calif. You are allowed 3 fish a
year in the slot limit.
