The story about fish being trapped and new ecosystems being formed over time is more interesting than a cryptid.

I’m from yakima, wa. And have been to the Dalles to fish for sturgeon, had no idea about them being in lake Chelan!! (Only a few hours from home) but seeing Forrest solving mysteries so close to home is so freaking awesome!! Great video and great catch!!

I’m from Longview and almost all the big lakes that the Columbia use to flow through have a few sturgeon in them there is a tinny lake off the cowlitz river and there is a huge one in there when the water is low in the summer you can see him

from central WA. 20 years ago i hooked a sturgeon about an hour east of here (above the dam) around crow butte. it was massive. my uncle, cousin and i took turns fighting it for almost an hour but never got it into the boat. we got it to breach the surface and it was easily over 10 feet.

I caught about a 6 foot sturgeon in my home state of Vermont on a medium/light ugly stick with6 pound test a worm on a #2 hook it’s still my best fishing experience of my life and that’s over a massive blue shark on the ocean I’ve got a picture of it but couldn’t figure out how to post here I’d love to tell Forrest the story but I’m sure I’ll never get the opportunity

@shaunrich5825 22 күн бұрын

I did remove it from the water to use my original Leatherman to remove the hook we took great care and thought to get it back in the water and make sure he was good and strong enough to swim away and contacted the local sturgeon biologist Chet McKenzie to cover our rears I’d love to share a photo of it but can’t figure out how on here unfortunately

Why aren't they afraid to hold it? If it's so strong that it weighs the rods down so much, couldn't it break their bones/knock someone out? When they let it go I though it was gonna zip off, end up breaking the woman's knees with one tailflip.

Fish ladders require fish to jump multiple levels. Sturgeon, along with many other fish do not make multiple successive jumps to use this

I don’t mean to be the queer but using gear like that on a fish like that isn’t the most ethical thing to do but u already knew that. Respect tho big fan of your work and nice fish too brother.
