I Hook My First Sturgeon While Centerpin Fishing For Steelhead / Michigan Fishing Videos / Kingpin
In this Michigan fishing video I hook into my first sturgeon on a Kingpin R2525 centerpin reel and a custom Nova rod. I have been daydreaming about catching a sturgeon for years but have never had the chance to actually target them. I was hyped for days after batteling a sturgeon and I cant deny that my desire to catch one has only increased in the days since. My goal was not to catch a sturgeon but any time I fish a dam on a river connected to Lake Michigan the possibility of catching a sturgeon lurks in the back of my mind. I dont know a lot about sturgeon fishing and I dont even have access to a sturgeon fishing spot per se but Ive seen and herd stories of steelhead fisherman hooking into a sturgeon while steelhead fishing and this day it became my turn to be that guy! Someday I will have a legit sturgeon fishing video for you to watch but for now you get this teaser. Dont forget to check out my other Michigan fishing videos and as I mentioned in the video make sure to go check out West Michigan Guide Service on youtube to find more content created by me and my friends!
Identification:
(Native Fish) A notable characteristic is the five rows of bony plates (scutes) that are well developed in young fish but less distinguishable in adults. Lake Sturgeon have a large protrusible, suctorial mouth on the bottom side of the head with four barbels in front of the mouth and beneath the snout. The barbels are sensory organs that assist the sturgeon in finding prey on the river and lake bottoms. Lake Sturgeon have a single dorsal fin located far back near the caudal (tail) fin. The tail upper lobe is much larger than the rounded lower lobe. Lake Sturgeon have scales but not the cycloid scales associated with most bony fishes, rather they are covered by the much stronger ganoid scales. Juvenile Lake Sturgeon are a sandy brown color with black mottling and spots, while adults are olive-brown to grey with white underneath.
Fishing:
Anglers who harvest a lake sturgeon must register their harvest within 24 hours (see below for registration options. Lake sturgeon harvest is limited to one (1) per year per angler. Harvest of lake sturgeon is limited to the waters below as indicated.
Diet:
Lake Sturgeon are benthivores (meaning they eat prey from the bottom of waterbodies), feeding mostly on small invertebrates such as insect larvae, crayfish, snails, clams and leeches.
Life History:
Sexual maturity in females is reached between 14 and 33 years, most often from 24 to 26 years and 12 to 17 years for males. Generally, female Lake Sturgeon spawn once every three to seven years while males spawn every one to four years. Spawning occurs on clean, gravel shoals and stream rapids from mid-April to late May in preferred water temperatures of 55 to 64 degrees F. Female Lake Sturgeon may lay 4,000 to 7,000 eggs per pound of fish. The typical life-span of Lake Sturgeon is 55 years but individuals over 100 years old have been found. The current state record for a legally harvested Lake Sturgeon is 193 pounds taken from Mullett Lake (Cheboygan County). Sturgeon greater than 300 pounds have been observed in the Great Lakes Basin.
Reel Michigan Anglers is a collection of Michigan Outdoors Videos made by real Michigan Fisherman. Not professional anglers but average guys on their quest to catch as many epic fish as possible. Michigan fishing flows through my veins like water flows through Michigan rivers and I enjoy sharing my Michigan fishing adventures with you all in the form of educational and entertaining fishing videos. I love fishing for all species in all bodies of water but have a particular passion for Michigan river fishing. Fishing Michigan rivers has brought me so much joy and excitement and my zen place is me standing in a river with a fishing rod in my hands. I am not in this for the fame or the attention my goal is to help other fisherman grow and learn with me and to get paid to fish which I do now thanks to all of you lovely viewers. Thanks to your support I will continue to bring you many more Michigan. fishing videos! I will be Fishing Michigan 2021 and making more fishing videos for your enjoyment!
