Default May long

A few years ago a good friend who had moved away took me for catfish when I visited him`. My first cast I caught a 15 pounder
This weekend he was able to come fish with me and I wanted to return the favour. Took a bit of fishing, but Saturday he was catching fish steady, 3 different species including his first dino, a long thin 41.5 incher.
Sunday we switched rivers, and even in the miserable weather we managed a couple fish, then he hooked into his second sturgeon of the trip. What a scrappy fatty, it was just out in front of us and came out like a rocket, so high even the tip of the tail cleared water! it turned out to be a much fatter fish and measured at 54 inches, his biggest fish ever and I believe hes now hooked on dinos too
just a great weekend with a good friend and a lot of fish, Saturday at least

I was cursing at weather this weekend, anywhere I looked to go winds where in red zone with gusts up to 40-50km/hr. I salute you for braving it and catching nice sturgeon!

Those are some incredible fish. Nothing like returning a favour for a friend and having it all come together like that.
