Catching a sturgeon

On Monday the first day of keeners we split into two groups. One paddling the main and one paddling the middle. I went with the group going down the middle. We had lunch at the Garvins lunch site. As we were eating our burgers down by the water we saw a huge fin protruding out. As it got closer we realized that it was a huge sturgeon. We all despised that we had to catch it. Me and another keener waded into the water and herded it into a sheltered corner. And it took both of us to lift it up. I’d say it was at least 4 feet long. I’ve never seen a sturgeon before let alone catch one with my bare hands. Afterwords I found out that they are endangered and relieved how rare and cool the experience was.
