Wow, that would be about twice the ideal weight of a 42" fish.

Location: Holly, MI		42'..WOW!
I was hoping to hit the Columbia river with my brother sometime and the Giant Sturgeon are like only a measley 14 feet. I would like to request just one tooth from a 42 footer for on my wall to show non believers that Muskie have big teeth.
