Just caught (and of course released) my first monster white sturgeon today and hard to believe this one he caught only has mine beat by 3-4 inches (mine was 102in). 40 minute fight for me on the Snake River but getting to be beside something that was 3ft 2in longer than I am tall was a truly amazing experience <3 Love these beautiful fish

river monsters was my grandpas favorite TV show, he loved fishing. Literally watch river monsters bc Jeremy reminds me of the times of me and my grandpa ❤️

I was so surprised when he just jumped in and started walking. I thought it was way deeper

Sturgeon are gorgeous fish. I've seen them swim up rivers to spawn; its a whole spectacle out in the countryside. They truly are a natural treasure of the world.

Jeremy: "they can grow up to 20 feet"
me typing in youtube: 20
youtube: did you mean 20ft sturgeon????

I remember fishing up a Sturgeon with my dad that was just as big as our boat. No way we could ever bring it aboard but it was a massive fight to get it to the surface.

In Canada BC there is a legend of the ogopogo, an apparent sea monster living in the Okanagan lake. Apparently while building a large bridge that crossed over the lake, divers (probably tripping on acid, as it was the 30s or 60s, I can’t remember which of the two) had spotted monstrous fish lurking very deep in the lake. The lake can reach depths of up to 760 feet, and sturgeons have been spotted before. It is likely that the ogopogo was a very large Sturgeon, and judging by what Jeremy has told us in this video it definitely would’ve been considered a mythical beast if seen swimming by way back in the 60s.

I imagine this fish giving up after fighting jeremy for 30 mins thinking its about to die only to be fondled and have his hand shoved in its

When I was a kid, my dad had a beater of an old speed boat and we used have a blast buzzing around Lake Michigan. My brother & I used to love tubing behind the boat.
When I was maybe 10, I was tubing behind the boat & I swear on everything I buzzed right along a sturgeon that I believe was at least 12 feet long. I remember my legs grazed it
Of course no one on the boat could hear what I was yelling about. When my turn was over i told my dad what i saw but he said no way; a sturgeon wouldn't have been at the surface like that & it definitely wouldn't have been just chilling there as a boat & a screaming girl on a tube flew past it! Which is true, but looking back, I know I saw a massive sturgeon. My guess is it was dying & that's why it was at the surface. Not much of a gripping story, I know but that's my (possible) monster sturgeon encounter lol
Regardless, they're incredible fish!

What an unbelievably awesome job. Traveling the world and catching massive fish.

The biggest sturgeon I ever saw was at an aquarium (9 ft), but I've seen pictures of the 7 footer my granddad brought home when my dad was in middle school. He apparently put it in the bathtub and waited for gran to get home and find it....

[chesmond]

why does no one mention how strong this absolute unit of a human is

[alannahesquivel]

I didn't watch cartoons as a kid i watched animal planet this was one of my favorites

[MaddAddamx]

As someone with a decent amount of time behind a rod, I cannot imagine how excited and terrified you must feel when a fish takes all of your mainline and starts taking the backing 😯

[bluebruising]

So cool to see Jeremy on my home River

[lucrity]

The music and Jeremy made this scene badass asf. One of my top 3 favorite scenes of all the river monster shows
