The Leaping sturgeon is a leaping fish which requires a fishing level of 70 and a strength and agility level of 45 to be caught, providing 80 fishing experience, 7 strength experience, and 7 agility experience. It can only be caught with a Barbarian rod after starting Barbarian Training. It cannot be cooked, but you can use a knife on it which will give you caviar, and may also give fish offcuts, providing 15 cooking experience. Closest bank is the Barbarian Assault deposit box.
Unsurprisingly, this is the only leaping fish to give caviar (which is sturgeon roe). Caviar is used in barbarian herblore to make mixed potions. This fish may be caught near Otto's Grotto after barbarian fishing training.
Note: Due to an unannounced update, players can also use fishing bait, at Otto's fishing spot. Players fishing in this area should be cautious with any pet out, (ex. Saradomin Owl) that eats fishing bait, lest the pet starve whilst you are fishing.
The priority, in which bait is used first, is: bait, feathers, offcuts, roe, then caviar.
