Re: Oversized Sturgeon
Yeah. Bringing it back to the top.
Salmon fishing is hot, but if you want one of these, this is the best time of year to get out and do it.
All right, "Dispelling Myths" and "How did Flathead get his name"?
Fished yesterday with "wtbarrong", try to figure that moniker out RT. Took Ty and his buddy Chris out for the big gators. Chris is a fly fisherman and couldn't quite grasp the concept of quote: fishing with a telephone pole and trans Atlantic cable... that is until we made him take the first fish. After we got the fish to the boat and unhooked, you should have seen the look on Chris' face. Maybe he understands that 96lb leader is a 2x tippet when fishing for gators! I guess it all depends on your prespective. Though we didn't get the 19 footer, we came up with a new measurement standard. "Hands you can fit in the mouth"! We got a couple of 1 handers and a couple of 2 handers that could almost go three. Great trip though, we long-lined released one that almost spooled a Penn 330, before we could cut loose and chase it down. One of the only days I've had recently that the bite shut down just because we ran out of bait. Ty and Chris are a couple of great guys.
RT, as far as "Flathead's" moniker goes, it's true the top of his head is flat. We both worked with a local based rescue unit at the time and I always told him that his head was so flat you could land a helicopter on it. The lake in Montana just added the fuel to the fire. What can I say? He's just a victim of circumstance.
