Overnight Sturgeon Fishing Excursion on the Snake River
Ойын-сауық
It's been nearly a year since I last targeted white sturgeon so I figured it was time to go back after them. On this trip, Nick and I headed down to the Snake River with hopes to redeem ourselves after encountering some mishaps last August.

Tying the bait to the hook is a great Idea for almost everything! Love it! Looks like you guys are having a great time! Also that you have plenty of experience which makes it even more rewarding ..... Fish On.

Baits like ghost or mud shrimp come off the hook if you don't tie them on.
Loved It !! Looked like a lot of Fun and a good work out. Thanks for sharing 🥰🎣
Been watching your vids for sometime now! Great stuff. Awesome catch, looks fun!
Great video as always! Keep' em coming!NICE sturgeon.
That looks so fun! Heck of an arm workout.
Was at the same spot a couple days ago, catching smallys, nice catch guys, 👍🎣🎣
Yes....... I was waiting for you to go fishing for sturgeon💪🎣
As always, awesome & entertaining. Please keep making videos. Your channel is my husband’s and my absolute favorite. ❤️

Awesome guys. Fun fun catching them giants.👍
😅 awesome video!! Lol....you had me on the edge of my seat man 😧🤭 when you started running with it, great job!! You guys did awesome, redeemed for sure - that fish put up a good fight.
Awesome fish! Definitely going to have to try and go down there and fish! And those soup bowls are the best!
Wow beautiful sturgeon man! Congrats!
Heck yeah let's go !!! You got your redemption this time for sure !!! Sorry for the late comment been outdoors myself I always love your videos because you always give us so much detail and your camera coverage of everything isnt easy and i know how hard you work just for us to have quality video I'm such a proud subscriber to your channel!!!! P.s. if your ever in southern Oregon hit me up I'll take you to my fishing holes!!
Those “fish finder” sliding sinkers are legit. We use them all the time back out east for years. Rated for braid also, which not a lot of them are.
Let's Go 🐟 Let's Go 🐟 Heck yeah awesome catch 🎣
Woot! A sturgeon fishing video!
Great job on catching the sturgeon Looking forward to the next video

Love ur videos man! Thank you!
That's a nice fish at a nice spot!
Beautiful fish and a awesome fight!!!
Great video! Nice catch!
excellent job boys super fish nice to see you let it go
Great video. I stumbled upon the channel thanks to the KZread algorithm. I just had to subscribe to help support my fellow PNWSTE KZreadr! Interesting choice of bait. When I've been sturgeon fishing on the Columbia river, we always used smelt, & a sand shrimp tied onto our hooks. I haven't been sturgeon fishing in over 5 years. I REALLY need to get out there again!
Awesome fight! Can't wait for elk season 2020!
Great vid.. keep it up
WhooHoo! That sturgeon looked like a prehistoric fish.
That looked like a good work out.🤯
Nice work, man.
83" that's a nice fish guys. Worth all the time and sweat
Awesome.....its always fun fighting them beast 💪
You put the time in you get rewarded nice fish man
Cool fish your lucky to be able to enjoy Sturgeon fishing I'm jealousy happy for you ....going in to have some Ohio Elk common name Whitetail made me hungry
Awesome bud
Man when I heard those birds nest my heart felt for ya. I just started baitcasting and sturgeon fishing… so I feel ya man hahaha. Im heading out Sunday to the snake to do some sturgeon/cat fishing.
Try a Bait Button to hold your bait on the barbless hook.
Great video! Never chased sturgeon, dad caught one accidentally once fishing for walleye 😂! Keep up the great work!

Don't target oversized. Go for keepers.
You need stretching string to wrap the bait on you hook. It makes it faster and easier not tying involved.
Love Washington weather. California is too hot! You should do a collab with the big gamers here in California. We be catching dinosaurs here and brush up on some tackle setups. Good sporting!!👍
Try 80lbs power pro as your main line, much stronger than mono and you can cast further

Beast mode!
My friend look up bait elastic thread you can wrap your bait with it it's soft to the bite from a fish so they don't get spooked by the mono or braid and it also helps a lot better than mono ever would stick your bait to your hook that is cheap for a lot of it you can get like four rolls of two hundred feet or something like that for ten bucks
Plus one on 80 braid, Takes way less weight to hold on the bottom, especially bank fishing. Good videos by the way.
Love this video. Makes me jones for the nw
You need to come to the Willamette in the spring for sturgeon
good catch
awesome video. really good sized sturgeon u landed. just want to ask, do u prefer using overheads? think a good spin reel like a 20000 spheros would b good to use for the sturgeons especially with the rod ur using.
You need some cheap stick on car window visors to keep the rain out.
I was wondering when you were going to post this video.
Thats a huge sturgeon
I’ve used those fish finder rigs for years and never used a bead. They don’t affect your knots at all.
Hey man awesome video me and my son just got into Sturgeon fishing!! What part of Idaho is that?
nice place to fish bro..
Great Video! Can you eat any of those, is there a slot limit, or catch and release only? Back in the 80's we use to catch and eat those big ones in SF Bay. Not anymore, there's size limit, and it's not healthy to eat sturgeon or any bottom feeders anymore, because our bay's heavily polluted. It's too bad, I loved eating sturgeon.
Where this at? Next to what city? I am from WA too. Tri-Cities, southeast WA. Great sturgeon and steelhead fishing around here!!
Samong come to the wet side of the Columbia and I will give you epic sturgeon fishing !!!
Do you lose a lot of tackle on the Snake River? I'm thinking of making 8-10 oz. concrete sinkers. I enjoy your videos, esp. the topo maps of the river.
Nice fish
Dang! After all that setup, if my line got snagged, Id be pissed!!

My reel adjustments. 😆
feather the spool with the thumb and it won't backlash as much.
wow....83....very nice
Do you ever fish this portion of the river for other species? Looks like a good spot with good access

Awesome video! What did you mean by reel adjustments? The drag?

Its an adjustment on how fast the line or weight comes out the bait casting reel

Yes, mainly the brake system which controls the speed of your spool when casting.

Turn the rod sideways after launch
What part of the snake river are you fishing?
What kind of rod holder to you use? Also. Where do you get the maps showing the main channels?

I was wondering the same thing. I've tried googling "snake river depth chart" or "snake river nautical chart" and found something similar, but different format than the exact one in his vid.
That line is way to thick for that size reel which is why your getting bird'snest and short casts.
dang ya'll must have body aches for the whole week, that is a big one.
Caught a ten footer the other day on the snake. 450 lbs.
You guys heading out for Oregon’s sturgeon retention?

I probably won't. Maybe my brother but haven't talked to him about that.

Sup bro you from Pullman??
This must be on the Washington side of the snake
Gotta work on that technique a little. When you're reeling down don't put your rod down so fast, you're putting your rod down then reel, it should be the other way around, reel then slowly put your rod down and keep reeling. And have you tried a spinning set up?? It's a lot easier. Keep up the good work 👍
How come you guys didn’t keep that 83? Wasn’t in the slot or that area your not allowed to keep them?
