On August 3, 2007, David Kuhn was interviewed for the People of the Sturgeon: Wisconsin's Love Affair with an Ancient Fish oral history project. David Kuhn, a 63-year-old Black Creek, Wisconsin resident with German and English ancestry, shares his personal history and experiences with sturgeon spearing. Raised in Nichols, Wisconsin, Kuhn recounts how his grandfather's stories about Indigenous sturgeon fishing methods in Royalton sparked his interest in the practice. The interview explores Kuhn's early exposure to spearfishing, beginning with carp spearing as a child with his father and grandfather and his eventual transition to sturgeon spearing in the early 1970s. Kuhn describes his first attempts at sturgeon spearing, including the construction of his own spearfishing shanty, the challenges of missing sturgeons, and the eventual success in spearing a 43-pound sturgeon in Lake Winneconne in 2005. He recounts the excitement of the catch, the near legal trouble for forgetting to tag the fish immediately, and his relief when local game wardens allowed him to go without penalty. Kuhn also discusses the evolution of his spearfishing equipment, detailing the construction and modification of his spears and decoys. He shares memorable stories from his years on the ice, including falling into an ice hole, witnessing others' near accidents, and the tragic loss of a black Labrador in a submerged truck. Kuhn reflects on the importance of safety and the adjustments he made over the years to improve his spearfishing success. The interview concludes with Kuhn's thoughts on sturgeon caviar, the influence of his family's culinary traditions, and his preferred methods for smoking fish using fruit and maple wood.
