Sturgeon
Sturgie, you make my heart flutter!
Okay, so maybe Jeremiah Wattenburger didn’t really get down on his knees and propose to this sturgeon, but he was genuinely stoked when he pulled this 72 incher (his first ever!) from the Cache Slough area of the California Delta. The pair shared a tender moment before J.W. turned the object of his affection loose. You know what they say: If you love something, set it free…
His fishing buddy eloquently described the scene: “Jer’s 6′2″ 230 lbs…you have to know the size of his big-ass, bald head to understand how big the fish is!” Nicely put! [click to continue…]

I hope I remember this when I wake up!
Super Sunday was good to loyal FishWithJD fan, Greg McElroy, who caught & released this nice 54-inch Delta sturgeon on shrimp while fishing the Super Bowl Sturgeon Derby. In the event, his team got close enough to the target length to finish 3rd…for their efforts, they walked away with $1,500.
Now, he’s going for the double dip and trying to win Feburary Hawg of the Month honors. If you’ve caught a whopper and would like a chance at winning a free fishing trip, submit your catch and info on our online form.

Jan. Hawg of the Month Contest entry
Just in time for the NFL playoffs, our pal Greg McElroy caught this absolutely obese football-shaped sturgeon on a shrimp bait in the California Delta. He didn’t mention whether or not the fish had a beach ball, a keg of beer or an Australian Sheppard in its gut.
We do know one thing — this fish is our latest Hawg of the Month Contest entry for January. If you’ve got a mammoth fish you’d like to enter, submit it HERE

Well, the Feds finally understand what we’ve all been saying for a looong time: The way the Northern California’s water is managed is a bad deal for fish like salmon, steelhead, sturgeon…and even, as it turns out, southern killer whales.
Last week, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released its final biological opinion that finds (surprise, surprise!) the water pumping operations in the Central Valley by the federal Bureau of Reclamation jeopardize the continued existence of several threatened and endangered species under the jurisdiction of NOAA’s Fisheries Service.
Federal biologists and hydrologists concluded that current water pumping operations in the Federal Central Valley Project and the California State Water Project should be changed to ensure survival of winter and spring-run Chinook salmon, Central Valley steelhead, the southern population of North American green sturgeon and Southern Resident killer whales, which rely on Chinook salmon runs for food.

Look what turned up on Lake Shasta the other day…200+ pounds of dinosaur! Dan Frost was fishing in a bass tournament when he stumbled across this big ol’ slab of white meat. The crazy thing is, this fish probably lived in the Sacramento River before Shasta Dam was built!
Too bad it didn’t count in the tourney…now that’s a kicker fish!!

Visitors from another world? Nah…actually just some locals. You see, here in Nor Cal, we’ve got some bizarre, very alien-like critters swimming around in our waters including the sturgeon (above) and then you have the extra creepy looking bat ray…YIKES!!!
Don't forget to floss!
