Clear Lake Craziness: Sturgeon Washes Ashore

Clear Lake with a sturgeon? Seems crazy to believe it, but that’s what washed shore at the popular Northern California fishery known for its world-class bass fishing and popular catfish fishery. Here are some details from the Lake County News:

Based on its shape and color, the big fish in question appears to be a white sturgeon, an ancient fish that’s the largest freshwater fish in North America. 

The sturgeon ended up on the beach on property owned by Ken Young, a Buckingham resident.

Young told Lake County News that he discovered the fish on Monday afternoon when a fisherman offshore was yelling at him to go take a look.
