Congratulations on your first Sturgeon! I know the pain of being out there, its tough. The harder the fish is to catch the more rewarding it is to get one. Great Job!
@@aarons4115 Hi Aaron. I know I want to get another video out soon too. I had a surgery 1.5 weeks ago. Should be able to get back on the water in the next week.
Nice job! I just got my first Dino as well last month. Setting that hook and feeling the tug is one of the most exhilarating experiences I've had kayak fishing. Congrats again.
That's awesome, Congrats. I grew up fishing sturgeon on the bay/sloughs. One word of warning, don't stringer the fish before measuring. If a Warden sees that you'll get popped.
@@joerosa170 yet he didn’t, he put it on the stringer then measured it. Guess it really doesn’t matter anymore probably never be able to fish them again anyway. Sad really I more than likely won’t be able to pass on the tradition.
I'm picking up a feelree lure 13.5 next week . Can't wait to do this. I also waited a long time and lots of overnight trips in my cuddy cabin before I caught my keeper sturgeon . Nice job and commentating was on point .
Congratulations you did it all on your own. I caught my first sturgeon around 1978 a 74” from the bank with ghost / mud shrimp we got ourselves. Since then my largest 8’3” with a guide on the Columbia River. Any congratulations again.
Good stuff yo where did you launch to get there or you did the whole workout from the launch ramp to there🤣🤣🤣....one of the best rewarding catches on a kayak
set the hook so hard the beanie flew off lmao I couldn't stop laughing for some reason but that fish was awesome always wanted to catch a sturgeon such a cool fish crazy how long they live
Great job on the Sturgeon. Out of interest, those fish that were surfacing, any idea what they were after and any chance you could fish for them on the surface? Love your channel and tell everyone about it.
My granddad made a spread that's awesome. Smoked sturgeon with egg and green onion to taste then food processor it(not too smooth), eat on Ritz crackers
They used to be but due to a size regulation to keep them they have made a great recovery in the sf bay area and the delta and even the Sacramento River. These fish are caught now all the way up the sac river to redding.
Don't need an exact location but can you catch ghost shrimp in the same beaches where you find sand crabs? And where along the beach like where the water comes up to and do you have to go in low tide? Fiiiiishhh oohhhnnn
Very nice video. Shrimp marks in sand are called "dimples" same as for razor clams. Lobster gloves for digging? Nice music with drone shots. Who's doing the drone work? Congrats on your 1st; I'm sure it's not your last.
There are tidal Apps you can download on your phone, I use "Tides Near Me," you can also look up buoy markers which convey similar info. I'm in the same are here as Die Hard & Fisherman's Life
Sure you can! I turned mine twice after it spooled me twice. 6’-/1”,135lbs. from the alameda rock wall. This was approx. 35years ago. I regret not letting it go.
And don't be embarrassed about how many times it took to land a stuergon they are elusive and the bites are so subtle it can be hard to detect. Good job brother
When you catch your own bait, #4-its local to the fish you’re trying to catch too 😉 Also, why don’t you ever mention the body of water you’re at? Curious, from WA state by the mighty Columbia!!

@ChrisPfish missing your videos man! Hope you drop another one soon!
@@aarons4115 Hi Aaron. I know I want to get another video out soon too. I had a surgery 1.5 weeks ago. Should be able to get back on the water in the next week.
Thanks Chris! Hope you are doing well and able to get back on the water soon!
@@ChrisPfish2 get well soon brother! Looking forward to more videos!
I've only caught one out there in Rio Vista and it wasn't a keeper. 39 inches.
The grind for a sturgeon - love that feeling when you set that hook and know it's a big fish! Congrats Adam!
Yea but he didn’t do it on a motorcycle!
Glad to join the club!

Good to know! Thanks!
That's the first thing Adam does is measure the fish or whatever else he's catching. Great video.
@@joerosa170 yet he didn’t, he put it on the stringer then measured it. Guess it really doesn’t matter anymore probably never be able to fish them again anyway. Sad really I more than likely won’t be able to pass on the tradition.

Love your videos, you show everything from scratch, learn a lot from you, thank you
One thing I always admire about him is how he catches his own bait
Do you ever pull anchor fighting a sturgeon on the kayak ? New to kayaks and looking how to set up anchor system
Love Adam's content. How is he under 100k subs?!?! Keep up the good work Die Hard!
Congratulations and damn good show Adam! Ahh, the delta, I worked at that power plant back a few decades, 4 or so..
Congratulations you did it all on your own. I caught my first sturgeon around 1978 a 74” from the bank with ghost / mud shrimp we got ourselves. Since then my largest 8’3” with a guide on the Columbia River. Any congratulations again.
Good video I would like to see how you clean it just in case I ever get lucky enough to catch one.
I hooked a dog fish in pugit sound with a barbed hook on my kayak damn near flipped my vessel trying to UN-hook recommend barbless hooks.
Those ghost shrimp are good for halibut as well. Great job.
In Australia we call ghost shrimp yabbies . Good bait for many types of fish . Great vid keep it up

Glad you enjoyed it
the hookset that blew up your beanie!💪🏽 welcome to the dino club🦖
That was 50 hours of sitting and staring at my rod tips built up into one hookset
That hook set was awesome!
Nice Job dude!! Can only imagine how long it took to catch one of these. Just makes the effort that much more enjoyable. Congrats!
For sure!
Great job on the Sturgeon. Out of interest, those fish that were surfacing, any idea what they were after and any chance you could fish for them on the surface? Love your channel and tell everyone about it.
Grats Adam! You'll be out there more. The tug is the drug.
I want another one already, I'm addicted, haha
Congrats Adam on your first sturgeon. That spot is really hot for sturgeon.
Sturgeon is some of the best smoked fish I've ever tried. XLNT
My granddad made a spread that's awesome. Smoked sturgeon with egg and green onion to taste then food processor it(not too smooth), eat on Ritz crackers
I smoked some and it was FIRE!!!!
Congrats brother! Keep it up best of luck and success this fishing year 🎣
What a feeling of accomplishment! Congrats bro!
Thanks bro!
Adam, great job in landing that huge stergeon
Where do you go to catch the ghost shrimp?
Hello, I'm having a hard time finding that black pump you used to catch the gosher. Where can I find that? Thanks.
Until this I thought Sturgeon were endangered, that's why they harvest their eggs then release them for caviar. Interesting video for sure. Great job
They used to be but due to a size regulation to keep them they have made a great recovery in the sf bay area and the delta and even the Sacramento River. These fish are caught now all the way up the sac river to redding.
Congrats...just watching and learning. Never fished for them...yet
Don't need an exact location but can you catch ghost shrimp in the same beaches where you find sand crabs? And where along the beach like where the water comes up to and do you have to go in low tide? Fiiiiishhh oohhhnnn

Congrats Adam! 👏
I can’t wait to experience the feeling. Still waiting to use my tags for the first time.
When you get it, you will feel an immediate sense of relief and ego boost haha
You're out by Pittsburgh right? I recognize those stacks behind you
nope hes from the bay
@@DeCCofficial 🤦♂️
Haha for sure Pittsburgh!
Holy shit that is crazy !!! Nice catch man , that’s the next fish I wanna catch .👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Congrats on the sturgeon. Thought you could only fish 1 rod in the bay?
Nice catch, Sturgeon is protected in Ontario Canada. Strictly catch and release.
Congrats. Way to stay with it.
Congrats on your first sturgeon...🤙🏽 where’s the good spots to get the shrimp? I’m getting tired of spending money on ghost.
Soft bite, epic battle
Scutes are cartilage, I believe. Awesome catch
Yes! Die hard got a Sturgeon! Congrats!!!! 💯👊🎣
Congrats Adam! That's a beast!
Cool you do the same for razor clams
You lucky son of a gun! Good job, Adam! Nice drone shots!
Nice Catch!!!!! Good job Sensei!!!
Great video! Nice fish
Nice fish I love fishing that place caught my first big fish there!😄😄🐟🐟👍
great fish! Congrats!
How can you tell the difference hole for a ghost shrimp or clam?
Grit and determination Huge congratulations!!!
Great catch!
Adam,, What kind of rod are you using? Please provide the brand and model. Thanks!
How do you read tides and waves to know when its safe to kayak out there?
There are tidal Apps you can download on your phone, I use "Tides Near Me," you can also look up buoy markers which convey similar info. I'm in the same are here as Die Hard & Fisherman's Life
Yes there are many sites that have swell forecasts and tide charts. I always check those before heading out!
Excellent job!
Great video, where were you fishing at?
Congratulations man it’s an awesome Catch I hope I can get one like that at least. Hopefully soon lol.
Well deserved man! Nice fish 🦖
we used to fish there a lot for sturgeon and salmon when growing up
Awesome video dude...
what kind of car are you using to haul the kayak with?
You need to fill your holes or you create dead zones for ghost shrimp.
maybe try a stink bait for Sturgeon some time?
Congrats... Sturgeons are good eating.....Cheers Jeff
Are you allowed to keep them?
Nice 👍 but wait till you get a oversized then you know what’s big you can’t even turn the fish 😂
Sure you can! I turned mine twice after it spooled me twice. 6’-/1”,135lbs. from the alameda rock wall. This was approx. 35years ago. I regret not letting it go.
Pittsburg?
And don't be embarrassed about how many times it took to land a stuergon they are elusive and the bites are so subtle it can be hard to detect. Good job brother
For sure Pittsburgh, deep-water at pg&e area.
That’s my go to spot!
Where is that in the bay? I’ve been wanting to go for a while but don’t know a great place.
looks like ur near pittsburg PG&E
Nice catch bro ..
Where can I catch that beanie.
Congrats !!
Adam your buddies should have a you tube channel. I don't have IG.
💛...hopefully, taku had a bigger net...
.....haha
Where are you fishing for sturgeon
Maybe next time you will get an alien 🤣
The sharp outer scales are called scapes.
Awesome, worth the grind
Thanks bro, missing your vids!
Congrats!!!
Damn what a grind
Great video friend 👍👍👍👍🤟
Bro what day did you go? I think we saw you guys.
Where is this spot? I wanna go there to try my luck
Nice fish shame he didn’t get to swim off!!
When you catch your own bait, #4-its local to the fish you’re trying to catch too 😉 Also, why don’t you ever mention the body of water you’re at? Curious, from WA state by the mighty Columbia!!
that was some calm a@@ water
Wow you fishing in my city.
How many ghost shrimp do you decapitate with that pipe?
Actually not very many, I was surprised
Adam, I forgot to comment on super nice "BERNIE" hat.
@Fefv Ffgscb I love to see that their are some good republicans who uphold American values still
Nice catch now your be hooks
I advocate for slot limits on all long lived species; it just makes so much sense.
world record IGFA 468 lbs. Est largest ever caught was 1,100 lbs.
get out east this and go fishin with blacktip guys
nice fiah
Cured salmon eggs as bait.
Cured Salmon roe
Your over by the PG&E plant
Damn dude
You are an incredible fisherman. Put me to shame son.
