Canadian fisherman catches 10.5 feet long sturgeon dubbed as ‘living dinosaur’
By MYBRANDBOOK
A Canadian fisherman, Yves Bisson had just made the most astounding catch of his life in British Columbia recently. Dubbed as the ‘living dinosaur’, his catch involved a colossal 10.5 feet sturgeon.
The incident was caught on camera by Bisson’s fishing partner and the clip went viral on TikTok in no time.
Bisson describes himself as a ‘sturgeon guide’, but he himself was astonished at his catch and said it was “One of the largest I’ve ever seen”.
The viral video shows him struggling to guide the massive freshwater fish’s head towards the camera saying, “Check this out, this fish is 10 and a half feet, probably 500, maybe 600lbs."
An expert on the sturgeon fish that live in Canada’s Fraser River, Bisson reckons that this beast fish might have been around for longer than a century.
Sturgeons get their ‘living dinosaur’ moniker from their Jurassic-era origins.
While it was captured and measured, the fishing guides set the sturgeon free after tagging it with an RFID chip. In the process, they discovered that it had luckily never been caught before.
Sturgeon is a common name for the approximately 29 species of these primitive fish who first appear in the fossil record during the Triassic period (245-208 million years ago) and haven’t undergone many significant changes in evolution.
These aquatic anachronisms have a toothless mouth and are not known to cause harm to humans. On average, sturgeons grow up to between 7-10 feet in size but rare specimens exceeding 26 feet have also been observed, according to Britannica.
