Great to see the newbies having a great day.
Nothing like watching those 6ft plus fish busting through the surface and that tail flailing around.
Was out on the 29th also with a couple newbies as well.
Hit a strong 4.5 footer in the first few minutes and then that nasty squall blew through.
We tucked in to a couple friendlier spots but not much happening there.
Once the weather settled we moved to a fav. spot and started hammering them.
Watched other buddys anchored beside us in there boats and had quite an afternoon.
Allways fun when you slag your buddies when they have a good one on.
The final fish was a 6.5 footer with a bad attitude.
We had to chase it a ways as it peeled 70 yards straight back.
First it tired Ron out and he passed the rod to Ted after the first 10 minutes.
Ted then spent another 10 minutes battling the fish before we brought it alongside the boat.
I as very surprised to see that it was only 6.5 ft. because it even looked bigger when it jumped and the spirited battle it had fought.
The last remaining boat was also drifting down the now darkening river with a another Dino on.
They got theres in around the same time and was also a nice one over 6 ft.
After the rough start was great to have some good action at the end of the day for Ron and Ted the Sturgeon rookies.
Just might have to go out real soon and try it again.
