I dunno... this is about catching sturgeon, not Bush or sex or commies. Is
fishing considered OT on rec.boats?

Anyway, I finally caught my first sturgeon of the season on my fifth try.
I cruised down to Suisun Bay (on the California Delta) Wednesday afternoon
to spend the night near Garnet Point. About 10:30 I had a feisty, tough
sturgeon on that seemed a lot bigger than he turned out to be. He weighed
in at 43 pounds and measured 58". It took me nearly twenty minutes to get
him to the boat. He was a very slender, tough male.

I read a story a couple of years ago about flying sturgeon up in the
Panhandle Area. A 6 foot sturgeon jumped out of the water, drilled some guy
in the chest, broke his sternum and some ribs, and nearly knocked him out of
the boat.

And some people say that fishing isn't a sport!
