That was a lot of fun! I can’t decide if they put up a better fight catching them with a hook or using a lasso to get them in the boat. Next time the family record comes back to me. Thanks for teaching us about river fishing Brian. Next time we go after the giant catfish.
Ok 31lifer touched on it. I’ve never seen it before myself.
He landed a sturg with the hook caught on the leader and made a perfect slip noose to catch the tail. The hook was completely free of hooking the fish.
