Thanks for the report Crazy Drifter. Yes the weather was gorgeous ...... I got off work at 12:00 and was on the river fishing about 12:30. I even took my boat and gear to work so I could leave right from there. <lol>
Congrats on the 81" Sturgeon ...... and the largest overall in the Derby. Although one monster came up right beside my boat (about 7 feet away) we only caught smaller ones. Don't know how long it actually was ..... but when it came up and showed it's head I was attending to a bite on my rod. Scared me so bad I fell back onto the engine cover. Stuttered to my buddy ... "Did you see that?" ..... and then took a deep breath. I've caught some big ones but it was definately the biggest I've seen for awhile. Closest I've ever been to a real live big dinosaur.
I'm glad the tourney was at least an "OK" event. Hope to maybe take it in next year. Would be great to see some of your pics.
