Kooty? Who’s going to “decoy” the dnr in your place? Looks like it won’t be Jonny.
April 1, 2010 at 12:45 pm #859646BK I already gave the local warden your description and mentioned you where a cat guy from “down south”…he sounded very excited to meet you.
Truly I am bummed I will not be able to attend this year but the woman has been training for this marathon for two years so I better not miss it. I am going to miss the Rainy Lake GTG also due to bear hunting.
April 2, 2010 at 6:25 am #859993The Sturgeon are waiting,
thanks for the pic Brian, that beast (read, Whale), went 69 X 30 inches, and 97 pounds on the DNR chart, would have been a new State Record,
sure was fun, and hope to beat it this year…

April 5, 2010 at 3:24 pm #860820If you haven’t checked it out.
I feel like I’ve been slapped with the glove…the challenge is out there!
Jonny says mono will out produce braid.
I say he’s full of BS AND I’m up for the challenge!
What say you Mister?
April 6, 2010 at 12:35 am #860991I say: This season I have boated 51 sturgeon, I have one rod with mono and it has caught 43 of those fish. Hard to argue with those numbers.
Dont worry Brin I spooled up two rods with mono, you can use them if you want.
April 6, 2010 at 4:24 am #861071Man I am sure getting excited for this. I will be up there with two others this year. This is all of our fist times ever fishing sturgeon, or being on the rainy in general so wish us luck. After reading all of Jonny P reports I had to go out and buy another rod and spool it up with some mono. 30 LB big cat to be exact. Can’t wait to see everyone up there.
April 6, 2010 at 10:28 am #861088I hear you Steve!
Once October arrives all I think about is “IS it April yet?”
I get just as excited as I did the first year going up. It’s kinda funny. I don’t like to dance with the Favorite Wife, but I love
dancing with a sturgeon!April 7, 2010 at 9:38 pm #861799So excited to be going up this year
And will have a sturgeon virgin in our boat this year!! Can’t wait to see that boy dance
