seadna,
I don't know how you measure or measured sturgeon in WA.
When you are reporting it to public media and talking about "RECORD FISH" thus gaining International newspaper media coverage you would measure it as fork length.
When you advertise it as "RECORD FISH" on your website it should be measured as fork length.
Dean know this. That is why it was submitted as 10' 8" long, the "proper" measurement to the FRSCS.
