Boy was it a great day to be back in my boat. I got to sugar cube creek before daylight and it was 31 degrees. I got ready and waited for the sun to come up both for warmth and navigation. I haven't went fishing since October. I got into the hole and dropped my rigs. Two hours later I get a hook up and man that fish was strong. It towed me from one side to the other and then all of a sudden it was gone. I guess I didn't set the hook hard enough. So I took the time then and sharpened my hooks and went back at it. 3 and a half hours later I get another hook up. This time I set the hook hard and set it again just to be sure. A half an hour later I got my fist look at it, and shew was a big old girl. She went back down and I had to haul her back to the top. I got her on my lap and she was as long as my rod 7 foot. She beat the crap out of me.

Well I went back to the same place and 30 minuted later I am hooked up again. This one was between 5 and 6 foot but it felt like a ton because I was still whipped from the last one.
In all it was a great day. Ron

I have never seen this one before. I have handled a lot of fish there but it amazes me to find some I have not been acquainted with. Ron

Awesome dinosaur Ron!
Your pics & vids are always amazing to see!

Those are awesome shots! Did you sell your Steelheader?

No I still have it. I use it every where else just not this hole. This hole is way to hard to get it in there with the water level as low as it is. Ron

Awesome, thanks. I just noticed you hardly used it last year (IN your pictures) so I had to ask. It is a 10'er right? How long is this Outcast you are using?

Ron, you being the Sturgeon Master! I am most likely going to be in the Glenn's Ferry area in July. Any chance you can direct me to a Pontoon friendly spot to spend a few hours? Thanks in advance for any info.

Sorry I didn't see this post.
I used my Steelheader a ton last year. I did a 4 day trip for cats, and probably 10 to 12 days for sturgeon and one day for Walleye. Ya the steelheader is 10 foot the Sportsman is 9.
