Drifting for Steelhead , hooking something completely different and much bigger.
Thursday , was out with my bud James , a few hours fishing after work . Started around 5. 30 pm , drifting some deeper slower holes.
My float vanishes beneath the surface , hard , pulsing head shakes and then as if the bottom moved , I suggested to James I had something very big on the line . James replied , a sturgeon I bet . Well if it is a sturgeon , I'm gonna get a look at it before it breaks me off.
I muscled up on the rod and started to pull the fish up , again with the head shakes , then as if NASA commanded it , lift off , a big sturgeon jumped clear of the water shaking its massive head and coming down with a massive splash . James and I looked at each other in amazement and ( the , I can't believe what I just saw jaw drop ) . In all my years fishing rivers ,I have never had a sturgeon on the line before and this one didn't disappoint . After the magnificent jump , it was a test of line , rod and my arm to bring this dinosaur to shore.
I must admit , the hardest fish I've ever encountered to land by far , my rod was a 3 piece RAVEN my friend built for me , 13 and half feet long , Raven line @ 8 lb. test and an 8 lb. Berkely Vanish leader . The rod was maxed out , but held true and the line was strong and after 20 minutes and a very weakened right side of my body , there it was .... we removed the hook from it's mouth and a 4 inch long lamprey from its dorsal fin , took some beauty pics .... placed it carefully in the current and watched it slowly vanish back to the rivers depths . What a magnificent fish ...
