That wasn't me...it was my friend Darryl. But yes; they were trolling for Springers.

Cool action pic td!

Did he have a guesstimate on weight and was it snagged or it took the bait?

Best,

Looks like a little below the Garbage hole on the Willy.

There has been a ridiculous amount of Sturgeon being caught in that area this year.

That's a cool shot!

Reminds me of last year about this same time, there was about 50-60 boats in the Garbage hole and NO ONE was catching anything. Then all of a sudden the one guy that was by himself back-trolling some bait hooked up and it turned out being a 9-10ft sturgeon that damn near jumped into his drift boat. Needless to say everyone was hootin' and hollerin'. Was pretty entertaining!

Great shot! Did he get it to the boat? Measurement?

Sorry; but I have no details.

I think Darryl's boat is a 16-footer. So, I'm thinking that fish was a 9 footer...or thereabouts. But, that's a pure guess.
