If you want a photo of it, take one but why do people risk harming it by removing it form the water? I think some of it comes down to respect of animals and i've seen first hand some people just don't care or have enough respect when it comes to handling fish or towards other people. It only seems to be getting worse.

I agree. I don’t fish sturgeon but I fish for billfish and they suffer internal damage when they’re removed from the water. Take your pics but don’t pull anything decent out of the water because they can’t support their own weight.
