What kind of line and leaders do you run for those beasts?
Ever have problems with hooks straightening out?
Whats the usual cause of a lost fish?
Looks like tons of fun!

I like to run 40lb. mono and tie my own rigs out of the same.It might be over kill but when I hook into that 100lber I want to be able to land him. I've seen alot caught on 10lb line but I've also seen lots of them get spooled of all there line and the big gets away.

really? do you think you are the only ones who know about a world famous sturgeon fishing area? do you know how long those rivers are and how many fish are in them? if you are going to gripe and moan maybe you should get someone to teach you how to spell so we know what you are trying to say. do you think the long weekend crap at the forks started in the last year? really? what are you, in grade 2?
Oh and by the way, my son and I caught 11 sturgeon there this week, most days we were the only people in the whole area, guess the circus left town.
Good job Dago. Nice sturgeon.
Hey Dago, I hope to come down sometime this summer and spend a weekend out and refresh my mind on the area.Would like to get retrained on river fishing.
Always enjoy You and Waynes (and Steves) pictures and videos.
I do remember some of the areas.
We will talk soon.
