I really enjoyed this video. Also very impressed with how you explained how to treat the fish properly to those watching. It is great information. Thanks again for sharing such a wonderful fishing adventure!
Nice job describing what you're doing. I like that you keep it short and precise. Some youtubers either give little or no details at all. Other times, they rattle on and on endlessly.
Stop and think about how lucky you guys are I'm an 80-year man from Connictcut who had many great years of fishing rivers in this state, very nice video, and thank your lucky stars for having those friends !!!!
Awesome video. Love to see you all keeping the heads in the water too. They recover so much better if you can keep their head (gills) in the water. Awesome catch, all! :)
Great video, beautiful fish, beautiful area. Love how you explain technique and proper handling. If you ever want to get on some great lake sturgeon fishing, come to Minnesota and fish the rainy river at the end of April.
Isn’t it just crazy how one day, one rod will get smacked and the next day, the other gets it all!? Love your videos man! Drone shots are soooo cool. The Gorge is an amazing place to fish, even tho you’re almost out of it out there.
OMG y'all nailed it, the spots going in the right direction with Samong and friends. The vidoe is a awesome instructional lessen, ambassadors for safe Sturgean fishing... Thanks
Love the respect you gave to the biggest older fish you landed Samong....kind of like respecting your elders with gentle care and kindness. Thanks for fun vid!
What monster fish and great looking backed potatos, Thank you Samong and Nick, these sturgeon fishing trips are one on my favorite. Last year was fun and this one is every bit as fun also. I know the rain isn’t perfect but you guys got out there and had a good time anyway. That big river is something to see and the view up stream of the green landscape and damn is an amazing backdrop for sure. That catfish was a nice surprise, running up to those rods and that big hook set looks like my kind of fun. Thanks again Samong for sharing these trips and all the other great outdoor videos you put together. Good fishing and Gods speed to you and yours. 🐟🏆🎥💯👍🐳
Just got spooled by my first sturgeon other day. Great tips about handling fish gently. Too many people are meat hunters who don’t care about preserving the species
A gallon milk jug with water in it will get you out of the rocks sometimes slide it on a swivel down your mainline and the current will get it off the rocks for you.
Here in bc on the Fraser river, reg line we run is 150 pound main and 130 pound leader. In boats it’s shimano techniums short but lots of back bone. From shore we run 9-10 foot rods. Massive pen reels aswell. Buddy of mine hooked a sturgeon on a salmon head and was spoiled in under a minute. The fish was just swimming not fighting and snapped his 130 pound leader. His reel was so hot he couldn’t touch it. Reel had 40lbs of drag and just couldn’t do anything. We also run anywhere from 10oz to 28oz depending on current
Sorry for asking this question but when is it the best time to set the hook on sturgeon I'm new only bien on the water 2 days fishing for stergeon haven't hook on one yet will be attempting again this week end😢
Hey I make sinkers for fishing in current that are 8 ounce weights and they stick really well to the bottom . I can send you some and make it so it sticks where you want it to I fish up there all the time I love watching your videos man
Hey Samong, I study all your vids for tips....Sturgeon ones are my fav. Could you do a vid on how you make your rod extensions for fighting leverage? Im sure your subscribers would interested. Thanks. Landed my first one recently :) 6ft
sturgeo fishing must be expensive with all the line especially i can barly afford myself 15 pound spiderwire braid lol of course i have just got a job am 15 live in mb and fish the red rver and assinaboine all the time yet to catch a sturegeon but they are in there thick just got to find em
I'm going to be moving to Spokane Washington very soon and I love to sturgeon fish have all my own rods could you tell me what dam that is you guys are fishing by?
Yes hello ru fishing in California and where at, ive been wanting to catch a sturgeon,i live in Arizona and they are No sturgeon here in Arizona, can you please tell us a spot where to catch sturgeon, where and what is the name of that river ur at, please reply have a blessing day
Is that Maxima Chameleon? The best mono for durability in my opinion. Has a lot of stretch also so 20lb Maxima has more like a 30-40lb standard mono strength when it comes to pulling. I've cut my fingers numerous times trying to break off 12lb Maxima, lol.
So are you not allowed to nightfish for them out there or did you just stop to sleep? My biggest out here in Wisconsin was a three footer. I think they get to be about 6-7 foot out here max but they are lake sturgeon here. Sometimes they catch 200 pounders through the ice in Lake Winnebago.
Samong wants me to sit on the toilet and watch this for 1Hr and 14 min?!
No problem! 😤
Hahahah 🤣
😂💀😂💀
I love the respect you have for all fish and wildlife.

Killing it man I’ve been waiting for another sturgeon video, I’m going to test my luck and see if I can catch my first sturgeon this year.

Had to watch in three or four sessions! That’s so awesome, its on my bucket list, your a lucky man.
how prehistoric is that fish. what a dream. glad i stumbled upon this video. thanks for the experience.
That’s so cool to watch you guys. I use to fish for sturgeon in California from the shore.
Thanks for the great content
Always a fun watch when you tie in with those monsters!
Just got spooled by my first sturgeon other day. Great tips about handling fish gently. Too many people are meat hunters who don’t care about preserving the species
My brother in law and I would fish the Columbia at about this same distance from Bonneville Dam.
This is a very fun adventure and I really feel the atmosphere there.
Damn that is a beast! Always want to do sturgeon fishing.
gr8 video. always great feeling wen landing good fish especially from the shore.
A gallon milk jug with water in it will get you out of the rocks sometimes slide it on a swivel down your mainline and the current will get it off the rocks for you.
Nice congrats to you and Nick
Beautiful scenery! 👍
"That ah fish that ah fish that ah fish!!!” lol, love it!!! Fis h on brother, fish on.
I really enjoyed this video.
I use the same sliding rig for surf fishing here in the Southeast... works well!
Tight lines!
🤘🏼Hell yeah Nick!!!! 🤘🏼
You on 🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!!
WOW, great video !!! 👍
Definitely appreciate the PROPER education on the fish species and how to PROPERLY handle them.!! 🙏🏼 good s**t Nick.!
I would strongly recommend the FG knot for your line to line connection
Great trip! Hopefully it’s like that when I hit up Eastern Washington Memorial Day weekend. Tight lines!
I miss just chilling back and waiting for your set line to go off

Also often enough if you miss a fish leave the bait in the water. 90% of the time they’ll come back for it with in a minute or two
Man that was some killer fights 🤛🤘👏
Man thats a big catfish and a big river!
awesome video! The one guy sounds like Jeff Spicoli lol
Great patience. U can see how ur buddy wasn't as patient and lost the fish
I’ve been waiting for a sturgeon video!
Great review.
If you flip sturgeon upside down they become very docile and you can easily work on them safely.
What a fantastic fish. We are so lucky to be able to catch such a fine fish at that. Fish on :-)
We sure are lucky!
Dam bro y’all made it look easy lol! Fun video as usual
Fantastic video. Where is that place guys. We don't see those fish in Australia. Just magnificent! Excellent work on the release!
Camping and fires go hand in hand!!!
beautiful video guys
Wow nice video, i like your unique rig too
Great vid! Give the FG knot a try, good for braid to mono.
Sorry for asking this question but when is it the best time to set the hook on sturgeon I'm new only bien on the water 2 days fishing for stergeon haven't hook on one yet will be attempting again this week end😢
Damn I woke up this morning with my lower back sore. And watching this video was making it hurt more lol 😂
We fish for sturgeon in California too what helps it stick a little better is casting upstream instead of just straight.
Yep, that is a great strategy.
@@SamongOutdoors we put 2 nails in the weights to hold to the bottom.
Great content as always. I’ve fought one myself. They are fun!
Hey I make sinkers for fishing in current that are 8 ounce weights and they stick really well to the bottom . I can send you some and make it so it sticks where you want it to I fish up there all the time I love watching your videos man
The bigger the bait the bigger the sturgeon you put those small baits on there and you’re gonna be knocking shakers off your pool all day. 👍🏼
It's a bucket list fish...that and a king salmon
dam didn't know sturgeon like pike minnow...stripers love those pike as well
Nice. I miss sturgeon fishing

To bottom

I've used pyramid weights before but they stick a little TOO good lol.
I hear ya. Well good to see love the videos
Hell yeah dude 🎣🐟🤘
What wrap do you have on the butt end of your rod? My rods are getting all scraped up.
Yes hello ru fishing in California and where at, ive been wanting to catch a sturgeon,i live in Arizona and they are No sturgeon here in Arizona, can you please tell us a spot where to catch sturgeon, where and what is the name of that river ur at, please reply have a blessing day

Subscribed!

We need a updated hunting pack and gear video
Were is this place
Where is this by?

No night fishing for sturgeon in WA state.
how many are you allowing to keep?
Samong, what are the legal sizes (range in inches) to keep in your state?
Is the snake or Columbia? Or different river?
