I actually beached a fishing boat on the back of one in the dark of night.
Boat just stopped. Was about to get out and the thing rolled over .
Freaked me right out

Looks to be at least 12’ long, probably over 120 years old.

No perspective. This fish could be 2 feet long or 20 feet, impossible to tell by the video.

Pfff. We use minnows like that for bait lol

Seriously though, it’s a whopper.

When I was younger, and taking a swim in the chilly waters of Canadians thousand lakes area I looked down and saw a 6 foot sturgeon right next to me. It looked exactly like a freaking shark. Scared the bejezus out of me.

We have a creek which drains Lake Minnetonka and the watershed into the Mississippi river called Minnehaha. The creek has a 53 foot falls before it hits the Mississippi and sturgeon are not native to the creek or to Lake Minnetonka. These boys wrestled a 6 foot sturgeon out of the creek, so the big question is the sturgeon climb up from the Mississippi or did someone drop it into the lake or creek.
