 Sweet! We have them jumping into boats down here and smacking people in the face. We can't keep them either.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

The skins are nice, but the meat is out of this world!  Sturgeon is some of the best stuff out there!  Glad you put 'er back so there will be more of 'em. 

Didja catch her from shore?

That fish probably wouldn't have missed a two inch wide strip of skin...   
Then slather it up with neosporin and send it on its way.
