Nice! No wonder I didn’t get a Slotomania request last night.

September 19, 2012 at 4:52 pm #1099796Ta Da! my first Sturgeon. coolest catch of the year for me. gave me a battle of a lifetime then when I got her/him in the boat it was the most calm, docile, beautiful fish.

The gentle giant.
September 21, 2012 at 5:37 pm #1100271Amazing double last night! We both thought we had caught the same fish, until mine started peeling to the front of the boat and Robs started peeling to the back.
56×19 was mine and 52×20 was Robs both at the same time!

My “first 48-50inch sturgeon” thank you my years best catch. Hi-5’s all over the place. Wow I couldn’t imagine one of those 65″ers. Gonna try for that for sure.
September 24, 2012 at 6:06 pm #1100809Forgot to post this in the thread… from a St. Croix trip on 9/9/12.
46×16 for 16 lbs out of 25-30 FOW on crawlers. Hooked 2 that night, only one made it into the boat. Saw the other one, it was about 36″, smaller than the one we boated… but it fought 10 times harder…
Lost it due to a combination of aft anchor rope, bow anchor rope and operator error.
Oh well… at least we saw the fish AND we boated the big one. For once it was the little one that got away!

October 26, 2012 at 3:12 am #1107701I’m thinking the Wif won’t forget that fish for a while!
Congrats!

Why, yes it is. I have a pair that I have been using for 5 years or so. You can really put the coals to the larger fish, but they don’t like that a whole lot and either rip off 100 plus feet of line or jump.
