I seen a sturgeon apparently caught in the bay over the week end. Anyone else seen or heard where it was caught? The pic I seen was on a face book page my son and his buddies use. Pretty sure its called quinte 360. I'll double check fb page name... it's a good size sturgeon gotta b in 40" range. .

I hope they released it, they sure don't want to get caught with it. It is illegal to target sturgeon in Ontario although I hear some do under the guise of fishing cats. There was always a small population in the Trent and i suspect the Bay.

My buddy Brad caught and RELEASED it safely back into the BOQ! Fought it for a while before coming up the hole.

Glad it was safely released. If you were able to post the picture I would love to see it. I heard Dr. John Cassleman was involved in the netting of one around 100 lbs in the St. Lawrence. It is legal to fish for them in Quebec and there is a catch and release fishery down around Montreal. I understand they get some 5 foot fish but nothing like out in BC.

That is an AWESOME fish.
However from a MNR standpoint I think it was illegal to photograph this fish in zone 20...

Really awesome catch though

i don't think he knew that the pic was being taken im pretty sure he was just getting ready to release it as he was sending it back down the hole....

I have a photocopy at my cabin, with 2 BOQ sturgeon; one being 180 pds taken in a commercial net (Prince Edward County area) and another being bigger (this is the picture I have), at an estimated 6 ft, caught by the Allen family out of Adophustown.

I have also heard of one being taken with a spear in the Napanee River near the falls back in the 1930's and some smaller samples caught about 10 years ago.

Would be cool to see those photocopies and to see these fish make a comeback in lake ontario

I will see about posting one, when I am able to access my cabin in the spring. It is pretty darned cool to see, knowing how big they can get in our home waters.
