    The part of the article that caught my attention was they estimate the fish was hatched in 1887. 240 pounds.

    Just one more reason to ensure a healthy release by not holding them by the gill plates.

    That’s one healthy looking fish too. She is aging much better than you are at that age BK.

    If that one is 125 years old how old do you think this one is?

    No clue on her age, but white sturgeon grow faster and larger.

    Pretty fish!
