Excellent afternoon of Sturgeon Fishing

[Uncivil]

So my partner and I were planning an afternoon of Sockeye fishing in the salt today but the weather was pretty ugly. Heavy rain and solid winds. As we are not really experienced in Salt water fishing in our area we decided to hit the Fraser River for some sturgeon. The weather was still crap but we managed 11 fish to the boat. Most were in the 4 to 5 foot range with the largest 5 1/2 feet. Time landed a three foot Baby for the smallest fish of teh day. But the best part was I landed 8 to Tim's 3. The first time I held such an advantage on my buddy.

I love to catch them. You guys are crazy being able to catch 8 in one day. I fish for 5-7 months to get one keeper where i am at. I am jealous of the nembers you guys can get.
