Trip Summary
Landon and his mom Sandy booked a trip on Landon's Friday off school and the soon to be 7 year old was able to show me his impressive fishing skills! When we hooked this fish, Landon took over the rod and did the pump and reel technique to perfection and landed his first and thus personal world record sturgeon. The rod had a pretty good bend in it and the fish took a few runs before Landon got it under control and got it to the swim platform so I could get it into the sling. Landon scanned the sturgeon and it didn't have a tag so he watched as I gave it one and then we measured it. Landon is now the youngest "citizen scientist" to have landed a sturgeon on my boat. He helped coach mom as she landed another one and so ended a pretty special day on the water. I think Landon might adopt this sturgeon by subscribing to the Fraser River White Sturgeon society adoption program. Tight lines Folks!
