Above is a 9 foot Sturgeon caught
just below Bonneville dam.

When Sturgeon jump you are often able to get a photograph because they rise slowly from the depths and you can see the line beginning to move upward. By watching the line you can see where the Sturgeon is likely to appear and these jumps are amazing acrobatics.
