Oversize Sturgeon on the Fraser
« on: August 15, 2016, 11:33:54 AM »
Made you look....   ;)

Just packing now and heading out soon, hopefully will have photos to post tomorrow. Unfortunately, it was going to be a dual fish trip with salmon on the menu, until they closed salmon on Friday.   :bash:  I'm looking forward to my son reeling in a fish over two times as long as he is tall.   :tup:

Keep checking DFO notices. I expect it to open back up soon. Hopefully in the next week.

Unfortunately, that doesn't do us any good since we were up there yesterday....   :rolleyes: Our guide says he thinks they closed it to try to make a point regarding what kind of fishing methods they should be using, ie. not using gear that snags fish as easily.  :dunno:

Anyways, we caught a few fish, two smaller one and two large ones.  I need to resize photos and will post later.

How large is large?
We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

Our biggest landed was 6 foot.  My son started with it but couldn't gain any line so handed it off to me.  He fought another one later that was maybe a little bigger, but it's first jump it came loose. Our other ones landed were right at 5', 36 inches and about 18 inches.

 Looks like a good time! Yes they closed it to protect the sockeye from the bottom bouncers.

Pretty crappy if you ask me, let's punish everyone for the actions of a few instead of getting off of their butts and enforcing their snagging laws!   >:(
