Do any Jaws fans out there recall this movie line:
“You’re gonna need a bigger boat!”
While it isn’t a flyfishing tale, it’s still a great big-fish story that y’all should enjoy. Check out the largest lake sturgeon caught so far in GAWRD’s 20-year restoration effort on the Coosa River. It exceeded fifty inches! The most detailed story is here:
With another story here:
Given the size of stripers, catfish, and sturgeon in the Coosa, it might be time for some of you to ask Santa for a stout saltwater rod! Enjoy the tale and remember to immediately release and then report all sturgeon caught to WRD at 706-295-6102. Hopefully these adult fish will start reproducing soon and bring back a self-sustaining population to the Coosa River basin.
