Had a buddy who guides take Carlos and I Sturgeon fishing on Sunday. Man what a blast! Kinda nice "lazy" fishing. Here are a few of the legal sized keepers we got.

Yeah we was just out droppin' gear . The fight was awesome ya'll! We had a lot of fun and the drive home had me rolling. Great times! 8) Yeah one real big one I set the hook and it turned once and snapped me off. Most fights between 5 and 10 minutes.

Nice catch guys.  My wife and I went down there and the guide asked,  Do you want a chance at a monster or some meat?"  We said meat so he took us to areas that only held the "regular" ones.

I wasn't too impressed with the "fight" of these fish.  Course iffin' you get into one of the "monsters" then all bets are off.  HAHA

Also didn't really care for the taste of the meat.  Tried several ways of cooking.  Finally took 30 lbs. of fillets to smoke place and had it smoked.  Now that was GREAT especially with BEER.

So, been there and did that and don't need to go back.

Hhhmmm...can you sayWIMP.  Maybe if you didn't go with Carlos your back wouldn,t hurt so much.

Rich

something i have always wanted to try.  looks like you had fun.  i hear there are some monsters below bonneville too.

Carlos,  I ain't really sure what it means either...hehe.

When we went,  most of the fish were between 45 and 50".  They made one small run and then were like dragging in a boot.

We were down by John Day.  It was impressive when the guide would put the loop around their tail and then drag them over the side of the boat.  We were in a 24' steel boat and the back of the fish would make a sound like steel on steel. 

Good job guys.

I don't know how you cooked it Rich, but we deep fried ours after an egg wash and coating of fish and chips batter. It was excellent. it seemed to be a little firmer meat and wasn't oily or fishing. Like a really soft chicken texture. Very good in my opinion.
