#17639, "Nov 11: Another Sacramento River sturgeon!" Thu Nov-12-09 09:43 AM by FishWisher
My fishin' buddy John joined me for a trip to Brannan and Decker Island.
We dropped anchor about 0830 at the same spot as the past few weeks, just off Decker Island and as close to the shipping channel as we could.
Around 1030 he set the hook into a lazy sturgeon who didn't want to fight. In five minutes a 55" sturgeon was at the side of the boat. He was so lazy he didn't make even one run. He was a good looking fish, but acted very weird. We released him and kept at it 'til sundown, but no more action for us.
A nearby boat caught a 75" and released it, and another just above the minimum size, by what we could see, and kept it.
