Catching oversize sturgeon isn't rocket science. No it is not illegal, but it should be curtailed.

Just look at the study and it shows that in 2002 (most recent data) That 5000 fish were handled May-July, and 1500 the rest of the year... Hello shut it down from May-July from I-5 to bonneville. Pretty easy solution.

Estuary is still open, the big breeders are not being bothered on there spawning run. Looks like win win to me.

Yes I am a registered guide, I just sent it my 09 dues.... my boat has been worked on for quite a while so I saw no need to spend the $$ and get no use out of it at the moment... yes I also have my 6 pack coast guard license as required to operate on coast guard water ways.. guide insurance and everything! oversize fishing has nothing to do with a ego boost.. nothing is more fun then those fish.. IMO.. and as far as the keepers go... I have no  problem fishing for those... when I take clients/ freinds out in the summer I give them the choice... I had 2 keeper trips last summer.. guess what the rest were?

I hear you...

I could go out next month and pound 15-20 coyotes in a weekend, it ain't illegal... and some may even encourage it. But... it does damage to the population, and as someone who loves to hunt coyotes I understand what that damage is. Anyone who's even moderately educated on the subject could see your point...  but this is hoyt here... so logic never prevails.

Hoyt, out of curiosity, do you guide for yourself or under another guys name?

I have a few buddies that guide and none of them chase oversize sturgeon, they like to eat them to much to ruin the spawners.

I liken it also to hunting but not eating what you harvest...I guess it is stupid to try and explain logic to a brick wall... All i was getting at was education, and the more people you edujucate on the subject the more will know about it.

Boy you are a Genius aren't you?      You know guides and outfitters do hire people to guide for them it really isn't that unreasonable of a question  :rolleyes:

Are you only a guide for oversized fish?   sounds odd to me when most of the poeple want to bring home meat.

Still haven't answered the question??? Hmmm ... someone has been very quiet!  :dunno:

Wow you are good! At a minimum of an hour fight on those big oversized buggers you must have practically had a fish on for the entire day and a half!

IN fact I did answer your question, its not my fault you dont look close enough to see your answer... but again I guide for keepers, salmon and steelhead as well......  as far as asking people, I have only fished with 2 people off this site.. 1 was in the fall for KEEPERS and he took home 2 huge 59in fish... the other fished oversize in the summer, we put 23 to the boat in 2 days his first trip down, then he fished oversize in the august and we caught 6 that day I believe then he came down twice for keepers in the fall and caught his fish both times and came down 2 or 3 times for summer steelhead and also caught his fish......
