I love it! Way to go and that fish will be pretty tasty too. The bite is on for keeper sturgeon in the gorge. Just wait till you boat one of those monsters. You won't believe how big it is.

When he gets next to your boat, roll the fish on its back and it will chill out so you can get your gear back. Make sure you turn him right side up before release so he'll be able to swim away.
