We landed and released an 8' sturgeon on the lower Rogue fishing for springers about three years ago.
We were only fishing in about 6 feet of water.. he slammed a gold cv7 blade with a couple red beads if anyone wants to target them there..

It was a shock/disapointment to see this thing break the surface for the first time.. we were thinking/hoping for a 50#+ springer.. oh well it was a fun 30 minutes.
