I forgot to mention, my fishing buddy was quickly reeling in, and after he had reeled maybe 15 or 20 feet, he had a 6 to 7 foot sturgeon on. I have watched videos of sturgeon chasing bait, on the Columbia River, and we have occasionally experienced it, but it is a rarity. Unfortunately, when he got it close to the boat his line snapped. Apparently, the line had been previously damaged and we were not aware of it.
