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.

 I 've had several right at the max mark, this one was at the 60" mark before the measurement change.

Cohoho....that is a HOG!  I've never caught one like that.  Probably a dozen over 7.5 feet but nothing close to that.   :tup:

Those huge sturgeon are awesome? Were those Snake fish? I NEED to go catch one of those someday.

This year we got into some river monsters... the big one on the right is 79#, middle 69 and little one is 33.


That day a guy caught a 97 not far from us and the biggest so far that season was 115.

Man, those Paddle fish are too freaking cool.  Last year seriously thought of driving over for a chance after reading about them...  Sturgeon off the Columbia...  On a quest for an 11 footer or bigger!  Once I get my boat will be hitting hard core....
