I just came back from the Columbia River, where I spent the Memorial weekend sturgeon fishing at a popular maggot hole. Fishing was decent for myself thumping keepers of 48" and 54" for three solid days of drowning bait. On the last day a husband and wife joined our group. They had the hot rod position landing the first two keepers of the morning. Thinking they were done I asked the husband if I could cast into his "hole." He replied that the two little girls running around were his and that they had punched them. These girls were petite and like six or seven years old; doubtful that they could even lift the big rod and reel combo. It didn't bother me until the afternoon, while we were packing up to leave, when the husband reeled in their third keeper. He immediately teathered it and cast right back out. His wife punched that one.

My buddies discussed this topic for most of the drive home. We could not agree on how legit this was, or if they were just plain greedy.
