I got the opportunity to try my hand at sturgeon fishing on Saturday..and what a rush! I went with my friend Carrie and her friend Rob (who's a pro! That helps!)
Here's Carrie starting the day off with a good breakfast!

Shortly after we dropped our lines, we got our first bite! Carrie was the first to try and wrestle it in!

It was heavy!

Rob gave it a try too!

I kept busy making faces!

My turn!

Yes, it really was that heavy!

Measuring the sturgeon! 5 foot 7 inches!
WOAH!

Carrie trying to keep the tail from spanking her!

Yep, she's squealing too!

Much better!

My turn! It took a little bit of convincing by Rob to stick my hand in it's mouth!

2 thumbs up!

Sturgeon number 2!

This one was smaller..looks about 3 feet or so!

It was hot! 33 C! So, how does one cool off? Hits the nearest watering hole! In our case, it was the muddy Fraser River!

And what stayed dry with the head dip, got wet when using a bowl!

My turn! Shorter hair and more of a chicken meant that the head dip wasn't as successful!

Put your legs into it!

I gave up and went straight to the bowl method!

It was a great day! Can't wait to do it again!
