Kayak sturgeon fishing in the Sacramento Delta

This is one of my favorite videos on youtube.  Turn it up and listen.  He laughs, curses, voice trembles, laughs again.  Good times.

Pretty nice vid,

For anyone sturgeon fishing from their yak,if you hook a nice one, have a loose drag and play that thing til it's tuckerd out before you bring it to the boat.  That's just too many pounds to handle when they've got allot of energy left.

It's a cool vid, except that he fished like a complete noob and as a result a sturgeon is swimming around with a hook and line flapping around from its mouth.

This is true for every fish that is too big to waterski. 

Each time he tightened the drag, I'm thinking "oh, you're gonna regret that." Probably better that it popped off, that thing had way too much gas left in the tank to bring on board or try to secure.

Nice fish though. I'd definitely like to try it sometime.

Too much draggggg... Was waiting for the Dino to get its 2nd run and snap the line. Nice fish.

I chatted with the guy. He said he had to get new gear because it was ruined after that hookup.
