yes national geographic really does need to check their records. I've fished for white sturgeon avidly throughout my life here in idaho, average size caught for me is 6-7 feet. largest i have landed myself was a 1.5 hour fight in southern idaho at 10.5 feet. My friends have also landed larger and have video to prove it, but here in idaho we can't even take them out of the water. And all we do is fish the rivers from the bank with 12-14 foot rod and reels. pathetic research National Geographic has done. and there was also one in southern idaho that was cought wild, taken to the Hagerman National Fish Hatchery and lived there for a long time, at least 40 years, and was over 200 years old. It died i think at 208 years old they estimated. if i remember right it was about 17-18 feet.

I doubt that the bay is the best place to catch big sturgeon. I know for a fact that bigger sturgeon have been caught below Bonneville Dam along the Columbia River as well as on the Fraser River in Canada. I think National Geographic needs to check their facts.

Calling the stingray a fish just seems wrong.Must be the same scientist who called the tomato a fruit.This show brought to you by Burger King home of the Whopper!

seriously, its used like a scientific term in this show... its annoying as heck...

this past year someone broke the freshwater record. A biologist caught a 1300 pound macon ray on a rod and real.

Not interesting enough to be an actual series.
