Very cool pics!

Does anybody have an idea what the gent to the right of the biggest sturgeon (top pic) is holding? Is that bait, a lure or is it his catch of the day?

I love the way they dressed for a picture. Must of been a great time to be alive.
No downriggers , fish-finders, a jillion lures, scaighty-eight types of line, as many scents, reels, rods, fishing reports, release figures, fish counts, submersible video cams, 4 or 5 types of black boxes, chips in the lures(scilicon) which type hook(opening, shaft, wire size, color) and I'm a bait thug. We keep it simple. What color herring (down to the brand of dye) the time in the dye.....etc. etc. etc. etc.

Now it gets really involved, if you catch one......on and on and on........and on.

Give me the good old days, long lines, fish traps, explosives!

Ahhhhh the simple things.

Did I mention how relaxing and calming fishing has become?
