Radio Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 First cast in the glen last week and a sturgeon picked it up! Ripped across, broke water and shook its head on the surface. Then it just dove really deep and did whatever it wanted. It stopped a couple times but I couldn't gain any line at all. After a half an hour I was down to just a few feet of line... nothing I could do so I cranked my drag and put my thumb down on the spool and luckily the hook came free and I got everything back. Except the fish! Unbelievable!! First time ever having one on in my life. Luckily the steelhead fishing was good right after that going 4/6 until 10:00 a.m when the water came up like crazy. Won't forget that day!! Mbocco, fishingking, smerchly and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 Back in the saddle again ! Nice colours on that bow , congrats on another good day on the River . Your encounter with the sturgeon is similar to the one that nearly spooled me at Port .Dal. I tightened up my line until it gave and the hook bent enough to release the fish ....it headed out towards the "River". Did it pick up a roe bag ? Mine grabbed a worm on a 3 way , worm harness with a spinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
