Matthew and Jacob were experienced anglers from England and they were well versed in carp fishing but they were up for some new fishing challenges so the booked a trip and came out to the New World to try out B.C.'s excellent sturgeon fishing with Fraser Legends Fishing. The day started pretty typical for summer sturgeon fishing with the tide slowing down the river in the afternoon and the fish kinda dozy with very soft bites. Then two fish were hooked in short order with one doing a self release just as Jacob got it to the boat. A second fish followed only to cross one of the other lines and also do a self release. Finally, late in the afternoon and well into "injury time" Jacob called out the "Hail Mary Rod" as we were pulling up the lines to end the day, when in fact the Hail Mary rod took a dip and Jacob set the hook. After a great breach an epic battle took place with Jacob showing fine form and somewhat huffing and puffing to get the beast to come to heal. Eventually, Jacob with help from dad got the fish under control and the fine photo opportunity resulted. Tight Lines!

Chris, Virginia, Lindsay and Luke booked on a 4 hour sturgeon tagging trip and managed to catch a sturgeon named Walter! This was Walter's 5th encounter with Fraser Legends Fishing and as the largest fish of the day and he had grown over the 3 years we've been tracking him. First captured on August 18, 2023 at nearly the same location he had grown several centimeters and was in great shape. The Team showed up on a bright sunny August morning ready for fishing action. Luke even brought his own rod and when he wasn't manning a sturgeon rod was persistently out with his own rod trying to catch fresh bait. Lindsay got to experience some "Sturgeon Love" by feeling the rod tug and of course take this great photo! Congrats to Team Iowa for a great tagging adventure. I'ld have you back on my boat any day. Tight Lines.
