best way to land a sturgeon

 Winters coming up and would like to catch a sturgeon from the yak. I've caught them before from a boat and we used a cradle to land the fish. I've seen in some pics of a PVC with rope. What are they called, and are they homemade? The PVC thing looks like the best way, but not sure since I've never fished for them from my yak yet. Thanks

There's a great artcle on the home page (left column) on Sturgeon fishing from a yak.

Thanks Dale just checked it out.

dont wait till winter!
