This is an interesting topic. I think these regulations are a good idea for those who target sturgeon on a regular basis. I think they will help the sturgeon last longer and it reminds us that sturgeon fishing a special thing that we are lucky to have in Idaho.
In your case I don't think the F&G will do anything if you are fishing for catfish and you happen to hook a sturgeon. We all catch things that we don't intend to when we go out.
I used to use circle hooks for cats on Utah Lake. I never had any problem catching them.
