Sorry, this one was not caught on the fly (you cannot catch Strugeon on the fly) but still wanted to share. Talk about Girl Power! My wife joined me for a day on the water in SW BC this past Monday and boy did she have her work cut out for her.

After a 40 minute battle, we had the beast of a White Sturgeon in hand for a few pics and a kiss good bye. The fish had a fork length of 8' 9" with an estimated weight of over 400lbs (tremendous girth). I'm proud of her for sticking in there for the battle. Stacey was flat out exhausted when the fight was over but the fish swam away no problem. What amazing creatures these Sturgeon are. Very cool indeed . . .

When you set the hook, the missle launches!


Here is a shot of me helping Stacey hold the fish


Here is our good friend and one heck of a river guide, Capt. Len Ames helping Stacey with the fish.
