- 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?
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
Bigfeet
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.
Alligator gar! I've caught spotted gar on a river near my house but I've never seen the really big ones.
I grew up watching Steve Irwin.
I hope my kids grow up watching Forrest.
I couldn't have said it better myself
You gotta introduce him to them 🙌
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..
Absolutely true!!!
Just said that
im convinced forrest will rediscover the tasmanian tiger ...
i really really hope so
I hope so
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
@@edwardfletcher7790he’s not trying to find them in Tasmania anymore. And the locals in the area hes now trying for have seen it, and he has a pictures of a recent jaw bone that match up
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.
First person with a tagging device to catch her anyway
Nice to see you pulling up some fish and not fighting a bait box for 3 hours. 😂
This is a bad ass episode, loved every min of it, the excitement and the conservation and research work was the best I seen. This was one hell of an episode and adventure. Loved it man! Congrats!
agreed, loved the tim bit part lol
Same bruh I just watched it on shrooms n loved it
River monster
HE BROUGHT OUT THE TIMBITS!! Never thought I'd see forest with my favourite birthday cake timbits..
...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😌
Anyone else realize the Canadian wearing a us flag hat😂😂.
Product placement
@bodvar8832, contrary to the media likes to say. Most Canadians love the USA.
Yves is a great guy leading conservation and teaching anglers
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. 😊
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 RUclips channel. Without a doubt one of my favorite channels and you’re one of my favorite people!
Just got to work and able to load this on the TV! Let's enjoy everyone
Watching Forrest while getting/giving tatts sounds like a blast tbh lol
id be hype!
@@MrTakeYoBitsh never had anyone complain yet! Lol
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.
“I could use some of that girth” 😂
The second he said that I went straight to the comments 💀
Also at 8:44 "Let's break some backs let's break some backs!" can't make ts up
Yves excitement really made this awesome. Great video guys. 👏🏼
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.
That drone shot of this fish swimming away was awesome!!!!!!
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. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I live in Chilliwack British Columbia, so cool to see you come through BC, hope you enjoyed yourself 🤙🏻
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.
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!
Sportsmen are a major part of conservation. I work at the Freshwater fisheries society of BC and all of us hunt and fish.
Thanks for coming in Canada Forrest ! Epic video once again !
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
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 used to watch a show called catching monsters or something like that and this reminds me so much of that show.
I just saw your podcast episode on the Danny jones podcast! It was amazing 😊
I love watching Forrest’s content because I know he will always do right by the animal 😊
That’s awesome! Great job to the both of them and the captain! As well as the camera crew.
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!!
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
Incredible!
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!
Forest is the barest man ever! And has the best podcast ever! Keep on doing your awesome work Forest
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!
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.
Absolutely love your videos one of the most knowledgeable people around keep em coming they never disappoint
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!!!
Sturgeon eat everything really. Have caught them with cheese, prawns, salmon, haring, pallets and sausages before 😂
I live next to the Columbia river in WA state, I remember my first 10 footer there is nothing like it. Congrats!
the genuine amazement on the face of the guy that does this for a living (21:44) is telling how amazing that catch was.
My dad runs a sturgeon fishing charter in the same river and I have photos from when we caught a nine foot female about 7 years ago. Absolutely amazing animals and I’m so glad the efforts for conservation has allowed dinosaurs to start anew and thrive once again
The enthusiasm when your Ricardo was reeling was infectious! Awesome to see someone so excited for their friend
Forest glante is ace one my heros
Forrest is the best, not even close. We want more content!!!
I’m Canadian, and yes we do love Timbits🇨🇦🇨🇦🍁🍁
We use bread all the time to catch fish. Doughnut is not far off
I like the fisherman, he does care about the fish to make it as painless as possible.
HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE A HUNDRED MILLION VIEWS.
ive spent severl late nights going down large animal hunts on youtube and this was real and exciting.
watching Forrest get so excited for his friend goes to show the type of guy he is!
21:14 I wasn’t looking at the time and thought they broke out the smelling salts 😂😂
It's one thing to catch a Sturgeon, but shocking a professional is extraordinary
I love watching them jump on the Columbia river in Oregon. I have had the best luck with smelt as bait.
12:20 i love how excited Forrest is for his friend lol
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😂🤟🏻
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.
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.
“I could use some of that girth” had me rolling.
Mental to think they grew twice the size of the one Forrest caught at the end.
Welcome to CANADA Forrest ,wow great job.
I love how the guide is a Canadian wearing his American flag hat for forest and his team.😂😂
Congratulations guys...that was a beautiful fish, all of them where actually.
Forrest had the proper reaction when they had that sturgeon on. Its so awesome to watch a friend hook and reel in something they really want
Eaves mind blown at the end made me chuckle 😂
The calmest fish I've ever seen!
I'm lucky enough to live right near the location these fish where caught, i remember hearing over the winter that a 10+ foot untagged fish was caught and was stoked, even more stoked to get to see the video of the fish, what a beauty.
Dude I live in Agassiz, let me tag along next time you go 😂
Lmao "nice girth"
Welcome to Canada Forrest Galante!!
Why are the fish so chill after they've been caught? They hardly even struggle while everyone's talking over them, it's kinda funny lol
Nice sturgeon
Living next to the Columbia river in Washington, Sturgeon fishing is extremely popular here a very beautiful fish never fails to amaze me every time you pull one up it’s like looking at a dinosaur.
Loved the audio book. More please ❤
What a freaking story! Caught a 10ft female sturgeon that hasn't been tagged before. You are 100% right karma. You get what you put out in the world. You deserve it! Congratulations Forrest
Super cool to see forest in my hometown enjoying the nature.
That small Sturgeon: bro i am dieing here
That clapping transition to the background music is goated ahhaha
Hi I'm a new subscriber, I'm loving your videos, I especially like the long form content like this, keep it up!
I'm a big fan of the work Yves does. Those were some amazing catches.
love love love these long form content !!!
Sturgeon, Pike, Alligator Gar, Catfish. All my favorite species of fish.
I caught my first one on the Columbia River in western WA a couple of years ago, 50". It was the hardest longest fight out of any fish I have caught, including big steelhead and 20+# king salmon. Can only imagine how the true monsters put it up. Great video.
This is beyond my dream fishing trip. What I would give to have a fight with one of these monsters. Such a specimen
It kills me how they just reiterate every two seconds "this a BIGGG FISH. this is a huge fish. this fish? BIG."
Jujimufu smelling salts in a Forrest video was not on my 2024 bingo card
Wow surprised to see that fish was tagged before 2005…its so amazing to see these small adventurers from forrest
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!
This video just inspired me to go fishing never done it before. 😅
Love how genuinely happy he is
Wow.. just WOW!
Nature is freaking Amazing man!
Thankyou for this video, I'm in Awe!
These are awesome sport in bc , iv fished canada for the sturgeon, lake nasser for the nile perch, catfish on the ebro multiple times. Cant beat canada though. From the uk here👍
I swear it looks like these guys raided my gear and clothes. I wouldn’t be surprised if I’ve fished this same areas too. I fished mainly in Oregon and Washington but often went up to BC for salmon and sturgeon. Sturgeon fishing is a total blast. About three summers ago I was bass fishing in Southeast Portland on the Willamette River and hooked a 37lb sturgeon. It took me 45 minutes to reel it in. I was using a 8-17lb Lamiglas bass rod with 30lb braid, 10lb leader, and a skirted bass jig. Hooking and being able to pull it in with that setup makes absolutely no freaking sense.
We have lake sturgeon in my area and me and a buddy were fishing one of our rivers for carp and he hooked on. Was about 5 feet of water and we could see the bottom clearly and it took 300 yards of line like it was nothing. Once my buddy tried tightening the tension on his line it snapped like nothing. Unfortunately we weren't set up for that size fish, lol.
We love our Sturgeon in Michigan!
How can you not appreciate that thing.
Maybe like 6-7 years ago we went fishing once with Yves in Decemeber and between 4 of us we caught like 50 sturgeon. They're fishing like 1 mile from my house in the vid. wild.
Oh my God I couldn't imagine how beautiful these creatures look & feel up close 😍
Such an honor being one of only 150k people to see this video keep it up Forrest ur a legend love the vids
As a Canadian I love the addition of the Timbits 😂
I don't know about everyone else, but I find it very refreshing that Forrest doesn't censor himself. He's super passionate about what he does and he's a professional, but he makes dirty jokes and uses colorful language. It makes him way more human and relatable.
this is one of my favorite fish! so happy I got to see this episode
I'm feeling the nostalgia of watching a River Monsters episode.
shakes the tiny fish vigorously while talking about it, but lifting it vertically is bad for it!! love ya Forrest.
