Do Not Mess With Fish 169,

and you thought fish were fun!


Michael and Margaret Snell did when three days ago they caught this 500 kilogram Fraser River Sturgeon, to give some idea of the size the fish was 3.8 metres long, also it is believed to be one of the largest fish every caught for sport in North America, the couple, from Salisbury, England, set out onto the Fraser River from Chilliwack, east of Vancouver, on Monday, Michael Snell, 65, said he saw his rod tip, but he struggled with his catch for nearly 45 minutes before he actually saw the fish surface, 'We just saw a tail fin come up, then a bit later we saw a middle fin, and eventually, as it got tired, we saw the head come out as well,' he said in an interview on Friday, 'We realized the sheer length of this fish — next to the boat, it's nearly as big as the boat,' the one that did not get away! the fish was released back into the river to fight another day.
