Lake Winnebago, Lake Butte des Morts ??
Was ice fishing on Butte des Morts many years ago and had a huge one swam under me with real clear ice.
Scared the crap out of me.

Never heard of sturgeon spearing. Searched it up and holy shit......that would be some great fun!!!

They do it here in Michigan on Black Lake also. They open the season with a quota set by biologists, and this years season was over in 36 minutes!

No luck yet this year, but will be back out in the morning.

Damn! I guess that requires a huge hole in the ice!

Congrats on a great fish!

Have no clue, are they good eating ?

I have eaten sturgeon, fantastic! Maybe go spear my own one day?

Like most wild game, prep is everything. When you get all the fat off, it's great eating.

Driving on the lake and tossing pointy sticks in a hole in the ice. Winnebago in the winter. Some kids father got one the year I was in 4th grade. He smoked it up and shared it with the whole school. That was casting pearls before swine. Us little buggers had no clue.

Have you ever went spearing for Eelpout - (Burbot) when they are running!
Or netting smelt.
