Went for musky Caught a dinosaur.

[bje]

i SWEAR on my great great great grand pa grave that i hooked it with a bulldawg.

 

did you ever see the hooks on those things.

 

there razor sharp...

 

that sturgeon was minding his own buisness in 8 FOW.

 

then a great big white LURE SMASHED him right on the side of the CORPS.

 

the hook dug right in the fleash and the fight was on.

 

We caught a beautiful five-six foot Sturgeon exactly the same way on Lake St. Clair last summer. It was foul hooked while we were musky trolling at over 4mph. We estimated the fish to be over 60lbs! I usually hear of about 5-6 accidentally caught this way each season.

 

It was extremely difficult to bring her to the boat though as she was hooked on the belly and literally had to be dragged in sideways. There was another boat trolling close by. Their crew was literally jumping out of their skin as the big tail thrashed!!

 

Thankfully we were able to unhook her and get her swimming again without any trouble!

 

Truly an incredible experience! I plan to learn how to fish for them in the Detroit River this season.
