I'm hooked. Never been sturgeon fishing until Sat. Went 2 for 5 in the morning for Salmon and decided to try oversize in the afternoon with guide Joe Salvey.
10 minutes into it I hook onto a VW bus and 30 seconds later it leaves me with nothing but a pole and about 60yds less line. Second attempt my dad fights for 15mins before that one snaps the line. Joe gets upset and switches poles and rigs. Third attempt buddy of mine screws up the hook set. Fourth attempt I set the hook, pole smacks me in the chest leaving a bleeding 4in. gash. I hand off to buddy who 25mins later lands a 9'3" monster. Head back up river and put lines back in water. Fifth attempt Joe sets hook and hands to me. I know I'm in trouble when the fish goes to tailwalk, but is too big to get fully out of the water. Guess is somewhere between 10' and 11'. Fight the fish for 30+ minutes. Just as I can see the swivel the fish comes unbuttoned. But I have someone elses line attached to mine w/ a 2 - 3' shaker, 2' tree limb, and about 200yds of crap line. So I never got my picture!
But I'm already looking at buying an oversize rod. I am fully addictated. Never had that much fun fishing before. Yea, I still love steelhead fishing and salmon fishing, but for an all out epic battle, oversize is the Bomb!

We were fishing above the "Fishery", about 200yds above the red markers on the oregon side (right in front of the house with there own boat ramp). We were in the fast water at about 50ft. We used 24oz of lead and whole "floater" shad that we just drove around and netted. If you need more info, drop me an email.
Later, Trent
