The primary reason it didn't work the first time... was on purpose. After closer review, they were fishing one of JT's holes.

Here is what I heard about this fish:

Caught in the Jourdan River near Kiln, Mississippi, on Another Minnow by "Sonny Boy" Poole and some of his Jack Daniels drinking buddies.

It weighed over 1,000 lbs and measured 11'1" and 56" girth; although the FISH WEIGHT CALCULATOR on the BBF.net home page puts it at a mere 521 lbs.

It took over 6-1/2 hours, and 4 dozen beers, for 4 of the guys taking turns (at reeling it in; not drinking the beers). C'mon, that's only 2 beers/hr/man.

Any Sturgeon over five feet has to be released unharmed and cannot be removed from the water. They are brood/breeding stock and probably older than most of us (well, maybe not PA THE OLD MAN).
