I never caught a sturgeon. I think I hooked one once. I ran out of my heavy duty hooks and borrowed one from the guy I was fishing with. It straightened a 3/0 hook in a heartbeat. Freakin wire hooks...Lol. Shit. You damn near need 20 dollar bills to catch them striper drifting jumbo minnows up around colusa too. Things are fuckin bank! But worth it. Dudes catch the 30-50 even 60 lb’ers! Casting swimbaits in the spring but that hurts my back casting like that nowadays standing in a boat. My style is drifting minnows. Can still hook them big mommas. Hella fun. Hopefully I finally have time this spring to get back on them but with my mid May deadline to finish the house i dunno.
i’ve had a few old timers ask me how i did out there when back to the dock and i’d tel them i filled the box with the perfect sized ones on minnows. And they’d say oh, you’re one of those rich fisherman! lol.
