Fishing for Dinosaurs

First time ever sturgeon fishing today on the Willamette courtesy of my wife's awesome XMAS present.  The picture shows how that I had my hands full with this 40+ inch Fish - it took me 15 minutes to get it into the boat and my arms were so dead I could barely lift it up.  It is a little different than flyfishing for trout on a mountain stream.  I was also able to see a sea lion catch a jumping salmon and eat it about 50 feet from our boat which was quite a sit.  I will be going to bed tonight with a sore back and full heart.
