Title: Funnyest/Wierdest fishing moment to date
Post by: Ho whacker on July 08, 2005, 10:06:28 PM
Was fishing the frasion near langly today for sturgeon and was getting skunked. At the end of the day of getting nothing me and my buddy where already packing up and he was off to the car as I was pulling up my line and jokeing like i had a fish on. While Im realing in realy fast to get my line in when I got a snag...well I thaught it was a snag. I whack this snag and all of the sudden I got a big sturgeon on the end of the line, It goes straight up to jump and i can see it is at least 6 feet then snap my line breacks as i fall back. At this point (as you would guess)  i was pretty mad. My buddy couldent believe it at first when i yeled fish on. This is definaly wierd especialy because the sturgeon nabed it near shore realing in fast.
THis was definatly a first for me.
