Dan Lallier of Alberta, fishing on the famous Fraser River in British Columbia with longtime fishing guide Yves Bisson, landed a fish of a lifetime last week, a sturgeon estimated to weigh 600 pounds and be as much as 100 years old.

“After jumping out of the water two times during the fight, we all looked at each other in disbelief at the enormous size,” fishing guide Yves Bisson told USA Today/For The Win Outdoors. “We knew it was something special.”

Bisson told For The Win Outdoors he has landed more than 22,000 sturgeon during his 20 years as a fishing guide and this is the second-heaviest fish he’s caught.

The sturgeon, a species sometimes referred as a living dinosaur as it is a prehistoric fish species, measured 10½-feet long.
