now that was a fight worth going through a couple crazy storms for! cant wait to catch her momma!
72 1/2 inches, 24 inch girth, and a fight like a submarine. Cant wait to see dagos video when she comes out of the water, after a few beeps are added at the appropriate words. definitely a 2 man lift into the boat!

well done wayne. congrats. seems like every week you post pics. standing in a different boat.
question.... have you and your buddies ever caught the same sturgeon twice on the same day? what i'm wondering is if it takes a fish a day or two to get back to normal feeding habits after the shock of being caught?

Weve caught the same fish within a few hours of being tagged. think one was just 2 hours later
