Good trip, good times!  I can still see your phone slowly sinking away into the deep.  Hearing that your arms still hurt makes me smile.  I appreciate you keeping the location vague, but not as much as just a couple guys hanging out on the water and laughing.

How often can guys go out and literally catch a ton of fish?

Literally a ton of fun and laugh we did, what a grand time, and yes, I still see that phone fluttering side to side as it sank out of reach of the idiot in the boat!  :hello:

Looked like an awesome time. :tup:  Any chance you might share the type of bait you guys were using?

Shad.  This time of year those bigger fish are loading up on both shad and sockeye.  But, some folks catch them on almost anything from herring, night crawlers, squid, etc.  I've gotten real creative before without much for results. :chuckle:

Way to go fellows, #1 reason why I absolutely love fishing for Sturgeon...  You get the big boys (girls) that will give you fight that most will never understand the shear power of these big ones.   

I do like offshore stuff, but the best times are always Over Sized Sturgeon fishing!

Nice, I am glad it is getting put to good use.  That was a solid rod for sure.   I seriously got to come visit you on that stretch.  Be a blast...
