    had a couple hrs to spare saturday morning so i decided to hit up a shore spot in search of sum wallys on the criox.
    i caught a few wallys, one was a keeper.
    maybe have caught more wallys but dem pesky sturgeons like crawlers too. lol
    it wasnt the biggest sturggie but sure was a blast the hardest 50″ ive ever fought. i was using my wally gear with #10 suffix. man it sure wrked the drag on my new reel and almost spooled me. had to chase after it, running dwn the shoreline, weaving in/out of other fishermen and leaping over fishing tackle, with sum luck was able to keep it out of the main channel landed it by hand
    made for a pretty fun morning

    not the best pix noob cameraman lol

    And that’s why you are known as….. Mr. Special!

    In your case, the sturgeon dance became the Sturgeon Run!

    Nice fish Phil! Fishing from shore can be a real challenge when you get a big fish on small gear and have to run up and down the shoreline. And by challenge, I mean a test of ones fishing ability. Nice job!
