Springers!!! At John Day dam area
« on: May 03, 2014, 10:42:45 PM »
We went 6 for 9 take downs....   Problems -a few natives in the mix, but hey were eating....

Fought a 10ft Sturgeon for about 30minutes till we had to cut it off, that destroyed my favorite Kwik Fish.  The rod I had, was a G-Loomis noodle rod and there was no way to budge it off the bottom, never going to happen..  Nor did I want to break my buddies rod either...   Estimated at 10ft, as it tail walked behind the boat and caught enough to realize how big it actually was...

Hey, at least you got to fight it and see it. Sorry about your Kwik fish, there will be others...  :chuckle:

Normally, I would of said heck with Springers and went for the Sturgeon, but I hooked it on my buddies G-Loomis noodle mooching rod and Shimano Calcutta reel, not sure how well I would have liked smoking the reel and rod during the battle... Or the cost to replace the set-up it as once it hit bottom it wasn't moving with that set up..   :yike:
