This was posted on Gary Borger's Website... I wonder if they get that big in the Delaware?
Too Big for a Fly Rod

Some fish are just outsized. It might be fun for the first 8 hours; after that it would just be work.
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.
FYI: This sturgeon is still alive, just worn out from the fight.
As the sports fishermen they are, they turned him loose after the photo.
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 dozen beers, for the 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.
