Bill Casper interviews Al Schumacher of the Stockbridge area on sturgeon fishing and related experiences in Schumacher’s life. At the time of the interview, Schumacher was 88 or 89 years old, and had lived in the same farmhouse since about the age of ten.  Stories surround the use of horses for moving fishing equipment, surviving the Depression, Schumacher’s family history, local decoy makers, and local landmarks such as the Fishtail Inn and the Calumet County Park.

Gwen Bowe, a resident of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, has been sturgeon fishing on Lake Winnebago since 1980. Her first catch was a significant one, marking the beginning of her independent fishing endeavors. This fish she speared was eventually donated to Case Western Reserve University when Robert Kennedy, Jr. contacted Bill Casper about getting a sturgeon to display in the museum. Prior to that, she had accompanied her husband on fishing trips but had not actively fished herself. 

On March 24, 2006, Bill Casper interviewed Irene and Greg Halfmann for the People of the Sturgeon: Wisconsin's Love Affair with an Ancient Fish project.

The interview begins with Irene recounting her memorable catch of a 92-pound sturgeon. She describes the experience of moving their shanty at night and setting up for a morning of fishing. Irene details the patience required, waiting for hours before a sturgeon came into view.

On May 11, 2006, Bill Casper interviewed Willard Jenkins for the People of the Sturgeon: Wisconsin's Love Affair with an Ancient Fish project.
