Chris,

You need to let us know next time you're up here.  bsteve, Zee, and I have been talking about doing an oversized sturgeon trip.

Nicely done though!!!

Those guys are huge!   

I want to ride on one like the Whale-rider.   

i've had friends do those trip on the columbia, and they have had similar results.  Large numbers, large fish... place sounds like a sturgeon factory...

I knew that if your talking bout pics?  it must be GOOD!  and it WAS!
 DAMN IT!......that's krazy S#i+!    thanks for clickin a few shots KF!

Chris, Do you have some info. on the guide that you can share? Thanks for the pics...excellent now have to figure into my yearly fishing buget. Frank

Nice report Chris.  Thanks for the pics.

Hey guys, come on up to Portland.  I have an extra kayak and there are tons of sturgeon to catch.  I haven't wrangled any big ones from the kayak (yet), but catching a few dozen "shaker sturgeon" in couple hours is pretty common around here.

Brian
