Yes, I was fishing specifically for Sturgeon. My rod is an 8ft Okuma designed for throwing swimbaits (popular out here in Cali for our big trout-eating Largemouths). My reel is an Okuma Enduron, filled with about 270 yards of 50 lb braid, and then I use a 130 lb test braided leader, and a 5/0 or 6/0 Owner hook. Bait was Salmon roe.

These things sure are a blast to catch, and SOOOO strong ! Whooo Hooo !

Peace,
Fish

How the heck did you get that in your boat?? You should have just put a harness on it and let him pull your boat around.
