Fishing in North Dakota (we don't fool around when we fish in North Dakota)
Missouri River, North Dakota
Another Minnow...
This is a darn interesting picture and story even if you aren't into fishing, but please show it to anyone you know that likes to fish.
This Sturgeon was caught in the Missouri River, North of Bismarck, North Dakota two weeks ago. It weighed out at over 1,000 lbs and measured out at 11'1".
It was 56" around the girth and took over 6 and a half hours, and 4 guys taking turns at the reeling it in.
Any Sturgeon OVER about five feet has to be released unharmed and cannot be removed from the water.
They are brood / breeding stock and probably older than most of us.
