I'LL SUPPLY THE FISH YOU COOK UP THE CHIPS AND GET A BAG OR TWO OF LEMONS

What Lurks in the Swan River !

This Sturgeon is Still alive, just worn out from the fight. They turned him loose after the photo.

This Sturgeon was caught on the Swan just near Fremantle City, Perth, Western Australia 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. This one maybe 100 years old.

[netic]

Well picked up mate, i was positive i had seen that pic before....

[taloyoak]

I didn't think there were Sturgeon in Australia???. They catch plenty in Canada.

[bjneville]

Pretty obvious, seeing as there ain't no sturgeon in Australia.

Good catch Hodgey.

[Guest MRSIWANNAJEWY]

I didnt find it, I got it in an email. I didnt think I'd heard of sturgeon in Australia before.
