Upper Columbia river sturgeon

Wow ! I had no idea it had come to a strip search program , always wanted to get a sturgeon , I here it's kinda like lobster texture ?

Love it or hate it kind of fish.  I love fishing for them but usually give the meat away, I spent too much time around the lower Columbia/Willamette/Portland to eat a fish that is 50 years old and eats stuff off the bottom around there.  They migrate all around so you never know where the one you caught came from.

I'm sure it's more of a mental thing for me than actual science, the guys that ate the ones I caught are no more strange than before they ate it.

lol 😂

Fought motor problems with the freeze and not wanting to start, but finally got to fishing about 11:45 today.  Got our second keeper at 3:30 and came in.

More boat problems, but luckily put two more keepers in the boat in 30 minutes this morning.  Two fish to the boat, both slot fish.  Good start to the fishing season!  Good luck to everybody else.  Launches aren’t great right now, and they will probably be unusable after this snow storm down there the next couple days.

Man, you guys are crushing it.
