I Caught a 400lb Prehistoric Fish!

Forrest Galante gets hooked up to a true river monster, a prehistoric dinosaur, known as the White Sturgeon in British Columbia, Canada. Fishing stories like these only come around once in a generation. This massive fish was once nearly an extinct animal, but thanks to conservation work from individuals like Yves, they have rebounded to healthy numbers.

Which monster fish would you want to catch?

[@MrThatnativeguy]

Wow Forrest pretty cool to see you in my neck of the woods,

Head out, and look for a big wels catfish like the one you talked about on your podcast a while back

[@jritechnology]

Bull Shark - in parts of Florida, they eat them up in a neighborhood BBQ. Now, I wouldn't eat any fish meat taken from these polluted oceans, but I would definitely catch a big ol' Bull shark so it fed lots of people.

[@notangryenough]

Alligator gar! I've caught spotted gar on a river near my house but I've never seen the really big ones.

Considering how little time he's spent in Tasmania compared to all the locals who are looking for them, he's got zero chance......

no doubt

From the bare foot bushman to David the bro then Steve now Forrest I love how they all have that look in their eyes... Nature is great beautiful giving scary and relentless all at the same time appreciate what we have before it's too late..

Nice to see you pulling up some fish and not fighting a bait box for 3 hours. 😂

[@jessiesmith2088]

HE BROUGHT OUT THE TIMBITS!! Never thought I'd see forest with my favourite birthday cake timbits..

[@jessiesmith2088]

...I can't believe forest actually liked this... gotta say you (and Jess) are such a huge inspiration to me. The way yall do conservative work together is true couple goals to me haha, I will meet you next animal con wether you like it or not😌

Yves is a great guy leading conservation and teaching anglers

[@Josh-fo5fd]

The fact that that Big Mama wasn't tagged was so cool. She's been there for ages and you're the first person to catch her. Amazing.

[@Spriggan6000]

There is nobody I rather see get to have such a mind blowing experience like this!!! So hyped for you and your friend to have such a once in a lifetime experience like this. So glad you decided to make the KZbin channel. Without a doubt one of my favorite channels and you’re one of my favorite people!

[@everettbateman4741]

I love that Forrest is an animal expert and conservationist that is so down to earth and easy going that he doesn't get all in your face and make you feel bad about everything. He just gives you the information in a fun and exciting way. Such a cool guy. Bet he's great to hang out with too, just to chat and have a drink, talking about his adventures. 😊

[@benmcreynolds8581]

When they get so big their heads almost turn into helmets. Almost has a horse shoe crab look to it. I live in Oregon. Sturgeon are amazing. I've seen some friends catch them before. Salmon, lampray, and sturgeon are such great assets to our ecosystem. As well as beavers. Which we definitely need to introduce more of.

[@Bardmusic66]

Yves excitement really made this awesome. Great video guys. 👏🏼

[@stephensmith6156]

This right here has to be one of my favorite videos you've done. I know EXACTLY the feeling you described when you watch a close friend hook up on a fish for the first time. My case it was no monster but still a great feeling watching my pals eyes light up when he landed that fish.

[@DeathSquad66]

That drone shot of this fish swimming away was awesome!!!!!!

[@lorenzonevarez5973]

“I could use some of that girth” 😂

[@lonjawnson]

The second he said that I went straight to the comments 💀

[@lonjawnson]

Also at 8:44 "Let's break some backs let's break some backs!" can't make ts up

[@Bhikks]

lol I was on the Kilby lodge Boat with Robert fishing the same day by the Harrison mouth. We saw you go past with Yves. We had fish to 360lb. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@XGlitcH2X]

I live in Chilliwack British Columbia, so cool to see you come through BC, hope you enjoyed yourself 🤙🏻

[@anthonylavarenne3330]

Thanks for coming in Canada Forrest ! Epic video once again !

[@syrupsmiles9384]

My jaw was dropped from the time Rick hit that first fish all the way until the end of the video. That was absolutely awesome

[@mikey13086]

My favorite episode. Im so used to watching a guy prospect gold on that river that I never considered gold wouldnt be the 2nd coolest thing in it.

[@mulepowerforge]

Cool to see you in Canada and doing conservation on these amazing fish! Thanks for mentioning sportsmen in conservation, we really are the ones keeping these animals around for the next generation to experience. A few years ago I went on a sturgeon fishing trip on the Fraser, it was an awesome time and I caught an 8 footer that took 15 mins to reel in!

[@sspsp6545]

Sportsmen are a major part of conservation. I work at the Freshwater fisheries society of BC and all of us hunt and fish.

[@carbon_no6]

That’s awesome! Great job to the both of them and the captain! As well as the camera crew.

[@ozzy6673]

Mental to think they grew twice the size of the one Forrest caught at the end.

[@Morgan-pf8nu]

I love watching Forrest’s content because I know he will always do right by the animal 😊

[@samhauge9605]

Absolutely love this type of video! Huge fan of the long form YT videos of you doing your adventures and will definitely continue to watch them as they drop!

[@UnitedCard-sn7xy]

Absolutely love your videos one of the most knowledgeable people around keep em coming they never disappoint

[@ryanainlay224]

Forrest! I've been watching for about a year, but have been obsessed with animals since before I can remember. Animals have always liked me (my mom had many pictures) and like many other 90s kids grew up watching Steve Irwin and getting ZooBooks in the mail every month. This video and adventure ranked in my top 3 wildlife moments on camera.. great stuff!!

[@agfishinginireland9182]

Beautiful specimen, that's a back breaker. Love to see footage of the extremely rare beluga sturgeon which can weigh up to 1.5 tonnes

[@wethepeople4762]

As someone who loves fishing for both food and catch and release. This is by far one of the best episodes this year. These fish are bad ass creatures. Cheers.

[@Gettingbento]

How can you not love Forrest his enthusiasm is contagious! I love nature and wildlife and grew up on a steady diet of Kratt’s Creatures and Steve Erwin. Keep it up Forrest and friends thanks for sharing!!!

[@dylangrahamvlogs4553]

Stoked to see you in BC !! Awesome footage forrest. Love it.

[@burrito4x4]

So awesome!! The best day ive ever had was a double from the bank! 8' and 8'1" at the same time just like this!!! Its also amazing how gentle they are once in shallow water and being handled, they calm down and just chill with you. Exactly how you see these 2 acting while being measured and tagged. Such cool and amazing animals!

[@desereesantillanes-torrez6823]

I'm a big fan of the work Yves does. Those were some amazing catches.

[@chammyy456]

love love love these long form content !!!

[@justinclay226]

I absolutely love that reaction from Forrest when they hooked that first big sturgeon, that’s the reaction I get EVERYTIME I set the hook on one. It’s one of the most addictive feelings I swear. And being able to see n touch those BIG fish is just mind blowing. My biggest is 11 feet 2 inches and I can not begin to tell you the power those fish have. I did mine from shore so they got lucky they had the boat😂🤟🏻

[@Jackdelroy1]

I love the passion that Forrest has

[@robglobal1]

The calmest fish I've ever seen!

I live in Hope, BC, near where some record-breaking sturgeon have been caught. I'm looking forward to catching one myself one day when I have the proper gear and good company. Your videos are incredible, Forest! Glad you had an awesome time in beautiful British Columbia.

Forest is the barest man ever! And has the best podcast ever! Keep on doing your awesome work Forest

[@hollyodii5969]

I really LOVE catch and release sturgeon fishing off the Columbia River! Haven’t been in years! But in college my husband and I could catch and release on as many weekends as we could!

[@user-vv9zh6yn1p]

I used to watch a show called catching monsters or something like that and this reminds me so much of that show.

[@overtonesnteatime198]

I grew up in McBride BC and we used to go fish for Sturgeon as kids with our dad. What a riot! Never caught one that big though that is impressive.

[@camronbitzer3159]

Lmao "nice girth"

[@sspsp6545]

I work for Freshwater Fisheries Society of British Columbia. The massive sturgeon you caught was most likely released by the hatchery over 50 years ago. Unfortunately the sturgeon we are releasing are not reproducing and that’s a major concern for us.

I love watching them jump on the Columbia river in Oregon. I have had the best luck with smelt as bait.

[@hurricanecatrina9548]

It kills me how they just reiterate every two seconds "this a BIGGG FISH. this is a huge fish. this fish? BIG."

[@beizamslayer4418]

I love how chill those 2 giant sturgen were

[@DemolitiaGrunt87]

Dude your fishing videos are so good! Even the one where you fight the bait bag is great. This is on my bucket list. We get into a few sturgeon here while catfishing but nothing like this. Sand sturgeon? I think?
