I’m from yakima, wa. And have been to the Dalles to fish for sturgeon, had no idea about them being in lake Chelan!! (Only a few hours from home) but seeing Forrest solving mysteries so close to home is so freaking awesome!! Great video and great catch!!

[@xiongceena2762]

you guys got some amazing rivers and lake man.

[@colton72395]

I’m from Longview and almost all the big lakes that the Columbia use to flow through have a few sturgeon in them there is a tinny lake off the cowlitz river and there is a huge one in there when the water is low in the summer you can see him

from central WA. 20 years ago i hooked a sturgeon about an hour east of here (above the dam) around crow butte. it was massive. my uncle, cousin and i took turns fighting it for almost an hour but never got it into the boat. we got it to breach the surface and it was easily over 10 feet.

[@Nizzit]

anyone else a fan of forrest from the pod??

[@chickbowdrie4750]

I know this is random, but Forrest's beard looks amazing. I'm growing mine out for like 2 years now, but his looks natural and healthy. And the hair is great. That being said, great vid my man!!

[@jimlahey3919]

Random is one word. Another word for admiring another mans beard is.... GAY

[@BamaRockstar85]

What blows my mind is not so much the size itself but the fact that at that size theyre able to make multiple jumps completely outta the water. Amazing

[@jarenlengert2642]

I live close to the Fraser river and sturgeon fish regularly. Got one measuring 8 foot 11 this year in late November and it was just under 5 feet around

[@reaper7477]

We'll it's soo good to see the family of our hero, ... U should do it more man... They enjoy it too

[@tyyyyy0718]

That is the most patient toddler ever. 8 hours on a boat is insane

[@Juuex]

I’m sure it was enjoying being out on the water

[@milenmetodiev8722]

Those fish could reach 1,300 kg in the past....

[@Noahjkrbdiebthdh]

OMG! I used to live in hood River Oregon which is a dew miles west of the Dalles. I caught many a decent sturgeon at this very dam! Nice to see others enjoying one of my favorite childhood spots

[@markhepworth]

Does nothing for me this kind of thing,it’s just “draggging”...not fishing..

[@wizkiddyami3636]

FBI you should have told them to open up

[@izzyrodriguez1259]

I live in and grew up in Hood River. I call it East Portland now. Not what it used to be. It takes 15 minutes to drive through downtown..... its like 12 blocks.

[@daleross9001]

❤😮

[@bangeristhename3870]

awesome fish brotha! bigger than ive caught. but please be careful with them and dont take their head out of the water when they are longer than 50 inches. ive personally seen people get fines at a big dam for that reason. love your stuff man!

[@noahbuck7]

Usually when filming, these guys have clearance! Not that I’m saying you’re wrong or anything, they usually just let these guys have a little more freedom than the average guy!

[@shaunrich5825]

I caught about a 6 foot sturgeon in my home state of Vermont on a medium/light ugly stick with6 pound test a worm on a #2 hook it’s still my best fishing experience of my life and that’s over a massive blue shark on the ocean I’ve got a picture of it but couldn’t figure out how to post here I’d love to tell Forrest the story but I’m sure I’ll never get the opportunity

[@shaunrich5825]

I did remove it from the water to use my original Leatherman to remove the hook we took great care and thought to get it back in the water and make sure he was good and strong enough to swim away and contacted the local sturgeon biologist Chet McKenzie to cover our rears I’d love to share a photo of it but can’t figure out how on here unfortunately

[@waynegrieco9752]

WOW AMAZING FISH !!

[@fullrpm2152]

Wow,Congrats,Great catch

[@chrisdp6401]

Brooo it’s hella filthy to see you fishing over there my family owns a business in the Dalles OR, definitely a huge fan

[@joevette6290]

Nice fish bud!!!!

[@congozilla]

I have learned that a single good sized white sturgeon is one heck of a lot of gourmet food for a guy to hook in all at once on the end of a piece of string :)

[@zwd7898]

He was on Rogan and they were talking about cryptids and Rogan said "Yeah. They're thinking these river monster sitings could be sturgeon." And here we are lol

[@tedgreen7547]

THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

[@daleross9001]

You should check out Parker Dam. sturgeon deepest dam ever. Love ya Forest😮

[@oserchlp]

I read that he caught a Monster White Surgeon... Wops

[@jakelamarche4623]

Sturgeon can be found all along the Columbia river!! They are amazing fish! I love this guy. He needs to learn how to speak Washingtonian tho 😂

[@randomhereoh]

I saw one jump out the water along our boat yearrrs ago in Moses Lake WA. I believe 2 were released.

[@tl1772]

Who can’t appreciate a good clam

[@gabriellynch2764]

What a beautiful fish.

[@bumbaclat_11]

if this wasnt forest id swear tahts some hollywood made fish

[@ryansmith-nx5qy]

As someone who's fished for mainly carp in the UK on light rods and tackle for 20+ years, kills me watching people haul fish in like this

[@tonyvang7648]

Forest got a twin

[@RoseNZieg]

that pelican really wants the fish.

[@colton72395]

There brave not wearing gloves I’ve had there spines cut me

[@shaunrich5825]

My buddy got the coolest sturgeon markings across his chest when we grabbed it it was so sick scratched across his chest and abs the exact markings of a living fossil I was actually jealous

[@charleyeugenestrom.3249]

Is that COLUMBIA RIVER

[@cheastbury9252]

I grew up near there crazy

[@kauaicouple]

Lol...used to fish sturgeon at the dalles all the time..

[@groyperfuhr4871]

Why aren't they afraid to hold it? If it's so strong that it weighs the rods down so much, couldn't it break their bones/knock someone out? When they let it go I though it was gonna zip off, end up breaking the woman's knees with one tailflip.

[@AuschwitzMyPants]

The fish is at the point of exhaustion and can’t really put up a big fight

[@baseballhaha]

Strong but slow.

[@groyperfuhr4871]

@Yeet Tygers you know they use rods that cost a shitload when going after large fish right? ones meant to not bend so bad that it breaks. don't talk to me like I'm an idiot, bro

[@arniejohnson8012]

I love yoh for letting him go😂❤😊

[@davidcua996]

it's sad that the damn disrupt totally the ecosystem of the sturgeons and that you can't encounter massive sturgeons anymore or very few of a lesser size

[@BurmaJ]

It is sad, but in some ways better than the sturgeon living in rivers where their nesting beds are constantly being destroyed by commercial dredging for shipping channels.

[@TyFishing]

first off.... sturgeon dont have scales......

[@anthonyharraden4709]

Didn’t he say it was part of a spine of some hard part of its spine right?

The way he pronounces Lake Chelan, having grown up 30 minutes from Chelan, is so annoying haha

[@joshcummings9750]

YES WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT

[@colton72395]

Ya he also says the dalls wired

[@fgialcgorge7392]

That and The Dalles was driving me nuts

[@adamscottx]

Bro I’m legit from Wenatchee which is like down the road and wtf is that pronunciation

[@graxo3752]

I thought the same thing. How is that even possible to pronounce it that way lol. I'm in Washington state capital and nobody says Chelán. You say Chelan like the way you say plan.

[@andrewaustin733]

Bro did you just say "The Dolls Dam" it Dalles like dAlles

[@crushedscouter9522]

lol you can't even type a sentence. you're not qualified to critique someones language skills. your phonetic correction was about as dumb as possible, just typing the same word twice🤣🤣pronounced like "Dalz"

[@andrewaustin733]

@Crushed Scouter Somebody actually gave birth to you. 🤣🤣🤣. You are the reason abortions exist. You just got so mad at my sentence then used a word like "phonetic" thinking it makes you sound like intellectual. Then didn't use any capitol letters or punctuation marks. Go eat some Plan-b do the world the favor your mother failed to do for the rest of the world. Sincerely everyone.

[@SodoMojo90]

You’re great Forrest, but you’re pronunciation of Chelan… butchered it

[@RebeccaCastor-z4m]

[@boyddickson1751]

Jeremy Wade wannabe

[@thilinagamage2569]

it's sad & funny to see how these massive creatures get abused one after one documentary about the same "lake monster". I thought Jeremy Wade solved the mystery but no. Forrest Galante wanted to solve it all over again... I wonder who else wants to solve the same mystery??

[@saulloya9877]

That woman that dropped the underwater camera in the beginning of this video is so white she has to wear sunglasses so her skin doesn’t blind her. Poor girl needs a tan at a beginners level

[@cashrefund]

We could have discovered alot species a long time ago but they're too busy exploring space

[@CharlieBrown379]

There are fish ladders going past all of those dams 😂 they can literally go all the way up to Lake Chelan.

[@thomasbenishek7927]

Fish ladders require fish to jump multiple levels. Sturgeon, along with many other fish do not make multiple successive jumps to use this

[@crushedscouter9522]

sturgeon don't really use fish ladders🤣it's hilarious that someone would say something so confidently without knowing what they're talking about. embarrassing. quiet time, kid.

[@cjordan2848]

I thought they were going to eat it

[@Danofsteppa]

I don’t mean to be the queer but using gear like that on a fish like that isn’t the most ethical thing to do but u already knew that. Respect tho big fan of your work and nice fish too brother.
