Initially when I walked by the pools I never even noticed the sturgeon in them, it wasn't till I came back and that guy was scooping him up and running over to river to put him in that I was like....Holy crap it's a sturgeon that's pretty cool! I don't know how much oxygen stays in a pool like that but I would rather take my fine than walk by and come back the next day to see it belly up! My friend is the foreman at the dams and he says they usually check all the pools and empty them of fish when they cut back the water from the gates. Honestly I was surprised that they hadn't done it yet. They had shut down the gates at noon and it was about six in the evening when that fish was moved. Damned if you do, damned if you don't! My mind never even went in the direction of not doing anything, I suppose guys like Ron who fish regularly for those fish would be more in the know of the do's and don'ts. Send me the fine....I'll pay it. To beautiful a fish to let it go to waste...I'm just sayin.
