Three years ago I was fishing Vernita for salmon and hooked a big sturgeon. No boats around so I figured what the hell, I'll try and land him. Two hours later my hands were tired and the sturgeon was not. I almost jumped in after the pole when it slipped out of my hands but was so tired from fighting the fish I figured I would have probably swam like a rock. If anyone found a Berkley Series 1 10-25lb salmon rod with a 8ft sturgeon hooked to it..........Can I have it back.
