One was caught in 1896 and weighed 320lb, this was caught by "Billy Boy" who sold it to "Slippy Dick" Best not ask what he got up to with the fishes!

If you catch a sturgeon in the UK you are under a legal obligation to give it to the Queen!!

"Your Royal Heighness, I caught Nicola Sturgeon up to no good with Jack McConnel yesterday, however I think you'd be better off with Lumpfish roe"
