"The thrill of a lifetime." That is how Michael Snell of Salisbury, England described this incredible catch.  In the summer of 2012, Michael landed this monster fish on the Fraser River in British Columbia, Canada while on a guided fishing tour.  The fish weighed approximately 1,100 pounds (498.9 kg) and measured 12 feet, 4 inches.

White Sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) are prehistoric-looking fish that potentially can reach up to 1,800 lbs and almost 20 feet in length.  They are the largest freshwater fish in North America.  Sturgeon can live to be over a hundred years old.

After getting video and photographs, the thousand pound fish was released back into the river.  Here is the full video from GrindTV:
