Hey thats a nice one, congrats!!

thanks.. hooked into 2 more monday and landed one. it was oversized.

Good job, looks like the smoker will be puffin smoke...What is the size limit where you are at...Here in WI it is 50" You must have a slot limit???

in washington it is 42 to 60 inches.

You gunna smoke it or whatelse do you do with them.. The only way I have ever had them is smoked and they are probably the number 1 fish their is for smoking in my book....Never heard of any other way to make them...

fried it up in the frying pan and ate it.. i will smoke it next time. i am going out tomorrow and sunday to hopefully get me somemore

Was it any good fried??? I have never heard of anyone frying it.. Curious if its worth frying or not... Let us know if you score again.. How many can you keep in your state?? Here it is one over 50"

My father-in-law is a charter captain in Illwaco. The "keeper" window in Washington is 45 - 60 inches.

You can cook these quite a few ways. I wrapped some up in foil with chopped onions, pepper, Johnny's seasoning and garlic, then threw it on the BBQ.

I've also cut them up into cubes and saute'd them in garlic butter like I would scallops.

They also say you can cut them up in cubes and boil in sugar water. This makes them taste like lobster.

MMMM Sturgeon good fried and or baked etc...Used to fish for them on the columbia and willamette in portland area my first experience was fishing from a boat and my buddy hooked a eight footer fought it for a hour and a half it was awesome when it came belly up we a rubbed it's belly and set it loose I was hooked for life. caught a keeper about a year later under the steel bridge down town portland mm good.
