Hi all, I`ve not been on here for a while now due to other commitments but thats another story. I went out to the secret lake in the UK I`ve been going on about and yes some of you may know of the lake but thats down to you to say and I know it wont get swomped with anglers as I got a deal as I know the owner and it cost me £100 for my trip and people just won`t pay that but thats there choice and yes I`m going back and can`t wait. There were a few guys that blanked god that must of hurt there wallet he he he gutted.
Anyway no big cats were landed but I had a 45lb and a 51lb sturgeon and by christ they put up a good fight and my mates each had a 60lb+ sturgeon. I got a pic of the 45lb but the 51lb was on the disposable camera. So here it is

Wow, that's a beast!

Well done Dan! :)

What's the deal with stocking sturgeon then? Are these the same species of sturgeon they used to catch in our rivers in the late 1800s or are these a different imported strain?

EPIC. good cats and especially sturgeon i assume are NOT easy to find. look like a seriously good use of time, making a change from the carp game. i may have a bash at some cats. as i know of an 80 in a lake that i can fish.

Hi to all, its been a while. I`d have to say pound for pound catfish fight harder but sturgeon jump out of the water which is mad due to the size of them beasts. The one I had was a diamondback sturgeon. Can`t wait till it warms up again to get out fishing.

The sturgeon native to the UK is the European sea sturgeon (Acipenser sturio) which is listed as critically endangered by the UICN, as there is now just one river in France where they breed. The sturgeon in the picture looks like a Siberian Sturgeon (Acipenser baerii) listed as endangered by the UICN. You can check out the other 23 sturgeon species at
