I have only been Sturgeon fishing once in my life and was thrilled to catch a Sturgeon with an estimated weight of 100 pounds. This was in a catch and release only, section of the Salmon River in Idaho. According to the article the video has been viewed 4.7 million times? Cool - thanks for sharing.

In the first seconds I was thinking maybe a big Chinook as it started taking line upstream and then it jumped about 40 feet from me. Looked like a Poseidon missile launch as it towered way above my head!

They jump in front of boats, hit the occupants and kill a few now and then. I guess they head for the bar, a drink and a few laughs. I am..........disturbed.

Everyone of them jumped fully out of the water when hooked. This was the first one caught, a nine footer. Hell of a trip. My wife had this one to the side of the boat when it went down some and rested. The guide warned us of the potential jump and entering the boat. After maybe a minute out it came, fully again, right next to the boat and off it went for another workout getting it to the boat again. Pretty awesome experience. I have it all on video. Conduct is the best proof of character.
