    My buddy had one on through the ice this year that size. They stuck their camera down and got a clear shot of it. I've seen them jump before but never caught one

    The video is insane. 2 of them had actually hooked it that day and had no idea what it was....the 3rd guy a tent over says hes snagged on the bottom as they're all packing up at the end of the day. He ended up fighting it for an hour and as it gets close to the hole they start filming all you can hear is them screaming and a perfect shot of the biggest sturgeon theyve ever seen. They obviously weren't getting it through the hole but it's a great video. The paper tried to get the video from him hes just not that kinda guy doesnt like social media. They are such a cool fish!
