5 sturgeon hooked in three days on Sacramento River!
This week's three day sturgeon safari was unusually productive! I had
five hooked over the three days, and three of them to the boat. I released two at opposite ends of the slot - one about 46" and maybe 25 pounds, another around 66" and 65+ pounds, I'd guess. I couldn't get a good measure of him in the water, so released him to pursue his pleasure upriver at the spawn. I kept one at 49" and 30 pounds. Every one of them took the same old lamprey eel I've been carving on for six months - actually longer than that, I think. I've frozen and thawed it several times, and it still works great! Figuring the time one eel lasts, at $40 per, they're still the cheapest sturgeon bait around! Wow! I'm still buzzed. It was an exciting three days of brawling with the mighty sturgeon.
