Caught this STURGEON while sidedrifting for steelhead on the cowlitz. Couldn't keep it because it was on a non retention day

. It was still pretty cool to land a fish like that on 8# line and a steelhead rod.

Definately the biggest fish I'll ever get on 8# line but it was a kick in the arse

Lets plan on taking the sled down there in May. I'm sure we can hook a few of the bigguns.

I'm sure I can line up a couple more people to keep the cost of fuel down. We won't bring Lyle though...we know what he does to my boat.

i was there for the 12

21 in a day and half or close to that number wasnt it

Hoytstaffshooter83 · « **Reply #17 on:** December 12, 2008, 11:54:53 AM »

21 it was...... not bad for a day and a half... wish more of them would have came to the boat though.. this summer its on..... 150lb power pro, 200lb leader only 12/0 hooks.. little more spendy but I have never had that many fish come unpinned in one year.. still not sure why?

NW-Eric · « **Reply #18 on:** December 12, 2008, 12:01:32 PM »
