The weatherman was a little off on his forecast for Monday, but what an awesome day fishing with Paul on the Big "C"!!! And believe it or not, this was a "slow day" for Paul!!! Another buddy from work fished all day down there Monday and didn't get a single keeper in the boat... but even when the bite was tough, Paul put us on the fish! Great job Paul!!! clap: clap: clap:

Together, there is a whole face there. Talk about fishing blind!

Looks like a fun day. I need to get me a sturgeon one of these days.

I was lucky and got in a trip with Paul for Springers last year. It was an excellent trip and all 4 of us limited. Hope to do another with him some day. Not sure I could do one of these freezing yer ass off trips for the Sturgeon but might try some time.

LMAO!!!

It was definitely a freeze your ass off kinda' day, but fun none the less. It was something I always wanted to do and thanks to Trent and Val I was able to. Plus, I was lookin' quite fly in my red fire suit!

nice pics but the child is missing something

Thanks! Yeah, if Kenny was my grandson I would have insisted on him wearing a pfd. I was kind of surprised his dad didn't ask for one.

But the Washington State law is, "Children 12 years old and younger must wear a USCG–approved life jacket at all times when underway in a vessel less than 19 feet in length, unless in a fully enclosed area."

The boat we were in is 24 feet in length.... so I guess he wasn't legally required to wear a pfd.

"The Coast Guard is requiring that all children under 13 years of age wear Coast Guard approved life jackets, while aboard recreational vessels underway, except when the children are below decks or in an enclosed cabin.
 
The Rule affects only those States that have not established requirements, by statute or rule, for children to wear life jackets. For the remaining states, the rule recognizes and adopts the existing state regulation, even if it is less stringent."

Great work! Pauls came a long ways over the years!

He's a diehard when it comes to the sturgeon!

My brother Toby caught his first sturgeon today.... and it's a good'n!!!!

We got our limits yesterday! I decided to try Sturgeon boiled in 7-up, dipped in butter and seasoned with Cavender's Greek Seasoning..... DELICIOUS!!!

Awesome shots......I love catching those guys, one of my favorite fish to eat too.

Thanks Mingo! They are a blast to catch and soooo good to eat for sure!!!

Does anyone know if the Bonneville Pool is open for catch and release sturgeon fishing after the quota is kept?
