Nice fish for sure Darren, congrats!

JB, the 65lb is not PP, it's Stealth.

You got that right, Chris.

WTG Bud. I'll betcha I know when they hit and how you got them . :-)

Yup, 65lb+ Stealth with 130lb fluoro leader.

You'll need two stickers unless you have a one-sided boat.

Good catch! Don't they have OFC hats in Sturg.?

Happy anniversary to you and your sweetie, Terry. You wearing the pinstripe shirt today?

Pretty sure it came from Alabananas.

Yeah, it gets a lot of air time but it's still funny. http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.p...24&hl=dwarf

Scary for sure, Aaron. Glad you and passengers were able to learn that lesson. Some folks don't get a second crack at it. You guys were wise enough to have been wearing your floaters at least. Water temps in April will kill you floater suit or not. The key was that you didn't panic.

Very friendly folks at luremaking.com. I order from them and have never ever had a problem. They are fast, efficient and really know there stuff. As far as junk is concerned, I think you'll have to go elsewhere for that cause I'm sure they don't have any in stock.

Wayne, I could feel the fright in Leah's whole self reading that story. I can't even imagine another outcome to that near miss. Another learning experience is right.

The very best is a coupla tablets of Ex-Lax. You'll be too damned afraid to cough.

The powder paints do the best job. You can get them from luremaking.com.

CAREFUL where you boat and camp in that area.

Welcome aboard! That is one heck of a fish...congrats to you.

And milk is about the worse thing you can drink for your throat.

I would think that your best shot at sturgeon in Ontario would be the Ottawa river.

My thoughts on that, is that those fish are put and take. Once they go up the river, they're dead without having made little ones. It's nice to be able to release fish to be able to fight another day but when one goes belly up.....well. Maybe someone could enlighten me on this.

Good thinking, Rico......we're cut from the same cloth.

Great, interesting report Alex. I hope you don't mind, I took the liberty of enlarging your pics....my eyes ain't what they used to be. Thanks again for taking the time to post of your adventure.

Hell, I heard this report last night over a beer! Pictures make a big difference, son. You certainly look like one happy redneck in those pics. Good on ya Bubba. Just a great report!

Heavy duty fish there Mr. Maina. Thanks for the report. No, I'm not Pete's dad but I have been offered to play the part. BTW, Norwegians don't wear kilts. Thanks again for posting, Pete.

Just a terrific report, Emil! Thanks for taking the time to post it for us. You'll have to show DouG how to fish Opeongo. The kids' smiles are priceless.
