HTTR!!!

They get to 20 feet if they live long enough

Nice to seeing catch release on a linker like this even if you keep it all fish outside Alaska and northern parts of Canada all fission have consumption regulations but it is great to know there are still places like this where lunkers still can be supported nice fish lol

Yeah only the big ones spawn. So the big ones you release and the little ones you keep

@@brianrizzi6321 if you take all the small ones then there won't be no big ones. Remember the small ones must grow bigger and there were once 20 to 30 footers if you look up sturgeon in the 1800's and before they started been fish out to almost extinct. Small must grow big to have giants.

I mean they are running a business on marketing and content so . . Idk what else you want

@Cody Galloway lol. Not a 3 hour documentary on a big fish. You must not watch alot of fishing youtubers.

Second that!!!

@@marijuonko7092 you can just not watch it if it’s 3 hours running time and not complain.

@@MrLSDownliner thar would be like you minding your business. Probably not going to happen.

Our pleasure! Thank you for watching!

​@TyPigPatrol how could a real fisherman not enjoy these amazing videos. They're epic brother 😊😎😎😎

That fish will be over 150 years old!

who the fuck is mateo?

How old do you reckon that fish is mate, from your experience?

You may have cought that very same fish at some point ?

About 75 years old

@@rocketrockstar8171 I would say roughly between 80-100 years just based off his aging patterns on him.

It’s great to get this kind of experience commenting on this fish event. I have never fished the northwest, and figure there might be a few others like myself who appreciate the valued info that catches or teaches of fishing in the Northwest. Mine was primarily southwest Gulf of Mexico and covered the full scope of recreational boating. Power and Sail. When those experienced in the marine world post or comment, it’s usually pretty obvious which ones reveal they are definitely worth listening to.

A cruel brutal entertainment . Like Nature needs this BS. Get a life!

It is not legal to take sturgeon of that size.

The vast majority of fishermen release their catches.

I've caught thousands of fish in my life and can count the amount that i have harvested for food on my two hands.. I don't do it for food much, i do it for the sport and to get out in nature to see these beautiful creatures up close. I also use barbless hooks these days to reduce the risk of serious injury.. Almost everyone i know does not keep them and does their damnedest to get them back into the wild alive and well.

And in Idaho you aren't allowed to even take them out of the water

@@jamesburke8681 Here in BC it is strict too, they must be treated gently over exertion kills them. Big carp,

The fish was waiving and thanking the fisherman for releasing it? Funny stuff man.

He's used to being caught, taking pics & being released. State law, you can only keep them between 4' & 6'

​@@crazydave1145 Damn. They look delicious! 😋 I'd order up a 3 ft one from the guide!😁

@@rhuttrho88 the best part is playing it though

@@crazydave1145 sounds like a hellish existence

If you're ever in Canada I can show you an even bigger monster

Is that a sturgeon?? HUGE!!!!

@@eddymayden8737yes, it’s a white sturgeon

Cant text my network does not support

must've* felt

😂 I was holding my breath at some parts, leaning left, then right at others, and struggling all just while watching!!! Thanks for the adventure guys! Congrats on the entire experience...especially the honorable character it takes for nature, to know when to keep and when to release❣️

And where was this adventure ?

@@donholmes3267the Dalles Oregon, Brokenback Sturgeon fishing. Book a trip!

Thank you very much!!!

Knight, thank you very much for the great comment, and for watching and subscribing!!!!

Not a problem,,, its all about support,, and you guys are great...

Thank you Mom!!

That's a story for generations right there. Amazing.

Thank you!!!

Thank you very much!!!

Right? Now that's a fish story that they don't have to lie about! I never saw anything like that in fresh water. I would like to know how old it is too.

It could be very well 90-100 years old…

@@theshittybowman Based on some studies, this fish could at least be 36 yrs old according to its size meaning a fish could reach this size in that time. Once they reach sexual maturity, growth slows exponentially. So yea, this fish could be 50, 70, 90, or 100 yrs old. I would guess between 40-50.

Wonder how many are in that river that size. That thing must rule those waters. Anybody know if this is a one-off, or are there more?

Well maybe the Rock? But even that muscular monster of of man would have had trouble outlasting that beautiful Sturgeon. Thank God they’re now heavily protected from overfishing. I hear they aren’t very good eating anyway & normally the larger the fish or animal, the tougher their flesh is to eat. Or so I’m told. I’m strictly a meat hunter/fisher, not a trophy hunter /fisher. Shooting an animal is never fair or sporting as they’ve no chance against a 30.06 or whatever rifle. And they didn’t sign the waver to be hunted for sport. Sorry for getting off track folk. Just saying I guess. Love the vid though ya’ll did well, treated & carefully released that Sturgeon respectfully, calming her & letting her relax & regain strength before releasing her. She even did a lap back to say thx & that’s awesome & comforting to ya’ll knowing she’s good to go. Congrats fellas, ya’ll rock👍

He's certainly a rare animal...but a lot of these fish that they let go sometimes would have been devoured by yours truly

​@@franklacy9813 In Oregon, you can only keep medium sized fish. Can't remember specifically, but maybe 3'-6'ft.

@@dennissamford1029 oh...thanks..do you know there a fishing channel called catch and cook...I grew up fishing and it's my favorite dish well seafood stuff in general I like shrimp too....anyway...I guess the catch and release fishermen gives you a chance to catch the lunker they let go...thanks again ....I think the reason is big fish lay more eggs ..so they're keeping a healthy population of fish going

@@franklacy9813 That is the theory. Brood stock. But, in addition mercury and other heavy solids build up over time in a fish of advanced age. Not healthy to eat anyway.

@@dennissamford1029 one time I looked up where all the mercury is coming from and it's supposed to be coming from burning coal...did you know you're not supposed to eat over a pouch of tuna fish a week or else you're overdoing your safe mercury levels....also most heavy metals wind u in the silt and clams are supposed to be the worse

I would never!

Sturgeon that size must be released.

Anybody who keeps these things is a monumental POS. Is there legal obligation to release though, or do people just do it because it's the right thing to do? I don't know anything about freshwater fish laws.

They are protected . Mandatory release.

you don't want to get caught trying to keep one of those they're breeders and have to be released

Beautiful fish. I love sturgeon and have caught many over the years, some of the same size in this video and some bigger. But I hate to see anglers swapping the rod and taking turns fighting fish. To me it defeats the object of fishing 🎣 and it should always be between the same angler from first cast to eventually landing the fish. That's just my personal opinion of course and means no disrespect to Ty and the other anglers who made it a combined effort.

@GLOBETROTTER We don't have these types of fishes where I live, but I remember catching a carp, nearly 15kg (33pounds) and that was a struggle. It took me nearly 2 hours to pull it out, my hands were shaking afterward, so strong it was, but this MONSTER...I don't think I have so much strength, but would love the challenge...

@@fishmadpro7210 I have caught many thousands of big carp worldwide to over 70lb, but the fight only lasts minutes with the right gear. Even with some sturgeon over 700lb and sharks over 1,000lb I've subdued in 15-minutes. But some do and can last over an hour, depending on fitness & experience of the angler, power of the fish, river currents and tackle. Congratulations on the 15kg carp by the way. Carp have been my favourite fish since a boy.

@@Globetrotter-1 that's just your ego dude !

I saw an old photo of a sturgeon so big they were pulling it up on shore with a team of horses. Had to be 1000 lbs minimum.

@@wymple09 I saw a similar photo my grandfather had. It may have been the same one. Was it on a horse drawn wagon?

@@franslangendonk6510 No, it was in the water & they had lines on it dragging it out.

Bro. Thank you so much for saying what kind of fish it was. Lol. I mean seriously. All these comments and not one mention. I’m sure it’s mentioned in the video somewhere but I wanted to know what it was before investing in the video

😂😂😂😂😂

I laughed at that as well!😂

Thank you very much!!

Years ago while fishing with my dad at the confluence of the feather and Sacramento rivers we witnessed a 12 foot boat get pulled over and capsized by a sea lion that attempted to steal a 15 pound striped bass from a stringer tied to the boat it was crazy

@@Doc_Holiday 🤯

@@Doc_Holiday new fear unlocked

I have lol bank fishing about 30 miles downstream from where they were. Lol

@@CharlieBrown379 lol

Agreed, thanks for watching!!

its not the lord who created it.

Delusional crap.

Oh ok Cool like Bob.,

Thank you very much 🙏

Its the law. You have to release this size of sturgeon.

What are you talking about man. Blacktip mainly saltwater fishes to begin with, and saltwater fisherman are a lot more focused on bringing home dinner. You have no understanding of fishing

@@MrJustin0919 lol what, no understanding? 😝 no idea who your talking to mate, 3rd generation professional fisherman and I don't no what I'm talking about, the fact he dishes for Goliath grouper at the size you can't eat because they would taste disgusting yet are killed just for his views on his channel? Ok buddy I no nothing about fishing. You have no idea what I'm Even talking about judging by your comment so keep scrolling on by you troll.

Thank you!!

Thank you very much pal!!!
