Wow!!! Thats Huge.I caught 2 Nice walleye there last year,biggest was just over 9 pounds.Right in the same Hole!!! Congrats!!!:)
|
Never thught i would say this, but you made me jealouse of people living in the flat lands. Beautiful Fish!!!
|
Ya thats the only picture I have, its small.. not so funny thing lost the iphone with all the pics (i caught another 20 mins later almost as big!!!) on the hike out. Luckily a fellow fisherman that was down there e-mailed me this one. I few years ago I caught an 8LB pike there as well, but I like the sounds of that huge wally, I will be down there lots!
|
Congrats on a awesome fish!
By the way welcome to AO. |

Eitherway great sturgeon,guess where i'm going tommorow(lol):sHa_shakeshout: |
I am there quite a bit and the sturgeon aren't biting as much... the river is lower and slower now i'm not sure if that has anythign to do with it, but I would catch like ten a day when the river was really high and fast.

I probabley should'nt go anyways because i've got lots of work to do around the house.I've found that on really hot days,like tommorow they dont bite good anyways.I'll have to see I guess? Good luck next time you go there!!! The alberta record I believe is 105 pounds and at the rate your pulling them out,it might just be a matter of time before the record is broken!!!:) |
One heck of a sturg,, they are quite the fish to wrangle in aren't they.. Well done..

Awesome sturgy AA! I musta seen u down there at some point this year? Welcome to the forum too! |
Thats a beauty , caught one similar to that about 3 weeks ago , Was fun trying to wrangle it as I was alone . Got one crappy picture but I dont post pictures here anymore . Not worth the bickering . Great sturgeon and thanks for sharing .
Oh and welcome to Alberta Outdoorsmen forum . |

Most likely fishfinder, I have been down there a couple times a week since May 24 weekend.
|
Anyone know how to post pictures right on this thread, instead of the link to that tiny picture?
|
Nicely done, after catching mine this year, really makes me think I need to invest in a heavier rod...Just know those lurk out there, I'd hate to be caught with the wrong tackle.
|
thats not quite downtown.....but great fish. i hope some fool doesnt create a story about finding a dead 70 pounder 100 yards away tomorrow:rolleye2:.

for all of the people NOT from here, i was trying to get the point across that it was in the city center basically where it was caught....... I know its not downtown. That fish swam away so strong, and it was a few weeks ago so I dont have to worry about that bambi.
|
thanx Wayne, I will do that! Just got home from the fishing hole, sauger, walleye, no sturgy :( Tommorrow im taking the boat across the river to that 40ft hole. I hope they are hiding out there :)
|
god that weighs more than my 7 year old.
WOW! |

Is that in police point,or before the TC bridge, can you drive in there or are you walking. I've live in the hat a long time, and I,m not quite sure where you were fishing.
Thanks |

you are new here so missed it. when fishfinder hooked into a giant a few months back an internet troll invented a silly story about finding a dead sturgeon a couple days after..... a childish attempt to chastise a fellow angler for taking some pics of his prize before releasing it. he also stated that he had it on good authority that there are only 10 sturgeon in the entire river system that size. i guess if you caught 2 that night and fishfinder killed one, there must be only 7 others out there. :rolleye2: again great fish and im glad to see the troll has left the building. |
