With the water temp hitting the 50s largemouth season is basically over here. I am turning to striper fishing as you can see lol.

About 2 hours out there. 2 bites 1 hookup.
21 inch striper.

The other boats were kind of pissed that I tossed it back. Fish are flat out lucky if I catch them because I don't eat fish. I'm always catching and release. Unless I'm with actual friends who eat fish. Then it might not go back lol.
Were you bait fishing? If so what were you using?

Went out on a charter years ago in the cape may rips for stripers.. was in the cabin sick the whole time till the mate got my back on deck with a fresh ell and I landed a 40 I'm ncher and won the pool for the boat.. to say my coworkers weren't happy is an understatement

Add sturgeon to that list sir. Get a 8 or 10 footer on the hook and your life changes lmao
I've caught lots of lake sturgeon. Just not whities. Biggest was around 120lbs or so. Maybe 6ft? 5 and change for sure. Not sure exactly. Lots of fish around 60-80lbs. Seasons closed permanently here though now. :(

Lake sturgeon honestly are nothing in comparison to the sturgeon over in the delta. When a big ass fish grows up in stupid currents they become next level strong.

Some day make the trip. It is worth it.

I'll likely be in BC on the Frasier. We are planning to head to Cali one day...
Over here, we have a very large river. It runs about 55km/h on avg with alot of rapids and world class impassable rapids (class 6)? I fish directly beside them. Haha. There's some beasts in there, but we can't fish them. Not worth me loosing my gear and lisc plus huge fines. When we could it was FN fun as shit. Those things are so powerful and take such mega runs with amazing acrobatic breaches. Like fighting a hundred pound rainbow. Lol. Would love to get me a monster white. One day. It'll happen.

Okay that's just fucking weird you would mention this.

I had no clue what the Frasier river was before I read this article about a guy who caught a 10.5 foot sturgeon from his kayak.

I read this about 15 minutes ago....

That's just some weird shit. Lmao
