The biggest sturgeon ever recorded was caught in the Fraser River in British Columbia. It was estimated to be over 100 years old and measured at a total length of 10 feet. The sturgeon weighed over 1,500 pounds, making it one of the largest freshwater fish ever caught.

Michael Snell, a 65-year-old Englishman, caught a massive 12-foot-long white sturgeon while fishing on the Fraser River in Chilliwack, British Columbia.
Today, mature belugas that are caught are generally 142–328 cm (4 ft 8 in – 10 ft 9 in) long and weigh 19–264 kg (42–582 lb). The female beluga is typically 20% larger than the male. [14] An exceptionally large beluga recently caught weighed 960 kg (2,120 lb) and measured 3.4 m (11 ft 2 in).
