There is now...
Reluctantly I left my little fishing buddy home asleep. My son and I left at stupid but early (2:30 am ) to go try for some sturgeon this morning. The river is running high and has triggered the shovel nose and the channel cats to start there "RUN"



Worm and sucker meat was the bait of the day and a 5oz sinker.
Heavy spider wire and heavy poles, and head lamps.
About 3:30 I hooked the first one , it was a nice sturgeon around 25". we both got in to them for about 2 1/2 hours quite steady.
The Cats where hit and miss and we never got one on the ground but there great fun too.
we kept 3 to eat one was right at the top of what we cane keep. Any thing OVER 40" has to go back in, that when they start to breed they say. By 8:30 the action shot off and the goldeye moved in and we left.







Anyone gota can opener ?

Never caught or eaten one of those. What is it like? Chicken only
different?

Prehistoric looking creatures.

How big do they have to be to keep out there ?
I was out in the big lake awhile back and there was a stergon going
along the surface.     Got up to him.   It was bigger than the boat I was
in.    Left him alone.   
The kid has caught a few.   The size of a couch.   Fun

Not how BIG it's how small.
They have to be UNDER 40" long to keep.

Too bad your little buddy didn't get to go. Those fish
look as big as her.

Keep us posted on how they are to eat. A guy I work with
catches them out of the Powder River. They catch and
release. but if they are good, I could have him keep a few
for me.
