Cool looking fish for sure FM. I spent most of my non-hunting recreation time catching salmon and steelhead but those sturgeon on the Columbia are a hoot. 50 plus fish days are the norm. I actually prefer the 3-4 foot size though....bigger and they wear me out! A 7 footer takes over a half hour to get in and will strip like off like a locomotive taking you downriver half a mile. I haven\'t landed any of the 10+ footers yet and not sure I am up for that battle. My favorite fishing though? Is with these turkeys! They grab them so hard the poor fishes eyes are bulging out!
