Post by: Hornseeker on May 25, 2012, 07:48:48 AM: 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.

Post by: cohoho on May 25, 2012, 12:36:57 PM: 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....

Post by: carpsniperg2 on May 25, 2012, 01:55:36 PM: Those are some cool fish! If I remember right you can only get them by snagging them? I know some guys that bowfish for them as well. I would love to get one!
