According to Nature Canada we can proudly declare ourselves (those of us north of the 49th parallel ) the official home of North Americas biggest lake sturgeon. It was from the Roseau River in Manitoba and tipped the scales at an astonishing 185 kg or 407 lbs. It measured 4.6 meters or just over 15 feet long and was believed to be 150 years old. But even closer to home is a story that we posted on May 28th of 2020 about a giant lake sturgeon caught in Lake of the Woods which is even larger than the US fish in today’s story.
