CT River Sturgeon!!!
Message:
Took an hour and a half to go fishing at the Ferry docks in Rocky Hill. I was using night crawlers fishing off the bottom. Started off with some small channel cats, 2 of them around 12 inches each. Then i had a nice hit and set the hook, i thought it was going to be a medium sized cat fish but it ended up being a large sturgeon! I was talking to some guy yesterday when i went and he said that they are very rare to catch out of the CT river. It was a couple pounds and was exactly 2 feet long. The man next to me, who didn't speak English, wanted to keep it. I told him that it was illegal to keep it, (or so the guy i talked to yesterday says) but he made sure i didn't throw it back. He basically took it from me, haha. If someone knows anything about sturgeon's, weather they are illegal to keep or how rare they are, feel free to post up what you know, if i can get the picture i have of it up ill post it.
