There’s a story going around that a 12’5″ long sturgeon was caught and released last Tuesday in San Pablo Bay near the pumphouse. It was caught by Sean Traecy of San Francisco and estimated to have weighed over 800lbs.
Some people have expressed doubts regarding the story as no photos have yet to surface. The story reminded me of another GIANT sturgeon but this time it was caught on video two years ago by an NBC News chopper pilot as it swam near the surface in San Francisco Bay.
So for you doubters out there, these giants do exist.
Not fishing related but here’s a peek at Twitter’s new homepage that was up briefly today until they took it down.
Remind you of any other social media site?

This behemoth is a 297 lb. 9 oz. Wels Catfish that set a new all-tackle IGFA world record. It was caught on the Po River in Italy and released to fight another day.
If you’re not amazed by its size you might be surprised at what was used to catch this monster. If you’re thinking stink-bait, think again.
