Spending Fathers' Day fishing with my daughter: Absolutely priceless!!!
My 16 year old daughter has been saying she wants to catch a sturgeon for a while. On Sunday, we got Becca's butt outta bed at 3:30am & made the drive south to chase dinos. Met up with Dago, Wayne Christie & Wayne's better half at the river.
Becca was there for sturgeon only; wouldn't even get off her chair for a sucker!
Wayne found some new spectacles...

When Wayne's Spidey sense started tingling, he knew he had a sturgeon bite; being the awesome fella that he is, he immediately handed his rod to Becca so she could catch her first sturgeon...

Dago tailed her 36" sturgeon & helped her show it off for a pic...

This guy had unusual barbells...

There wasn't much happening for a while- some suckers, Wayne got a couple 'eyes- so, we hopped in Wayne's boat and went for a ride to another spot. I hooked a big, heavy fish & handed the rod to Becca. She got to feel a big sturgeon on the line for a few minutes before it got off...

We headed back to Wayne's campsite shortly after. While we were gone, Karen had landed a 41" sturgeon & Dago had packed 'er in for the day; great seeing you, as always, Dago!
After a while, Wayne got another bite.
It went like this, "Big fish!!! Here, Becca!"
Once again, Wayne handed his rod off to my daughter. For all he knew, this could have been a new personal best, yet he didn't hesitate to let a kid he'd just met take the rod; thanks, my friend.
It was, indeed, a big fish...
Pretty sure she was wondering what the heck she'd gotten herself into during the epic battle!

Do you think Wayne's enjoying this?
