What a surprise day. Tried for whites but nowhere to be found. Decided to bait fish in the deep water were we marked a lot of fish. Something started pulling a little on my line. Picked up rod ans slowly pulled back. I use circle hooks. There went the drag. Oh my. Told husband this is am real fish. A lot bigger than the 21 lb cat I caught a few years ago. It went down the river then up the river. Pulled some drag. Then it JUMPED. It was a big lake sturgeon. Finally after it taking a few rounds up and down river husband dip neted it. Well sort of. Half in net and hand around tail to get it in. It bent the net. Fter all the fight we quickly measured and weighed it then released to swim away. It was 5 ft long and weighed at least 44 lbs. probably more because husband couldn't get it completely off the bottom of boat even standing on front deck. And I FORGOT the camera again. Did take a few with phone. They didn't turn out to good. Don't have smart phone. Have stupid phone. Husband ended up catching a 12 lb one and I caught a 17 lb one. They were a blast. That one is going to be hard to top. I was just glad it wasn't a carp.
