Sturgeon Fishing Whistler and Lillooet British Columbia Canada
Sturgeon Fishing Whistler and Lillooet British Columbia Canada. Once we arrived at the fishing destination via Jet Boat. We set up our rods with bait and out they went. I just put the rod in the rod holder and noticed a very faint bump on my rod and then BOOM! This Sturgeon hit the bait like a Freight train then erupted out of the water like a fighter jet. At this point I remembered saying to myself “wow, this fish is nearly the size of our boat”. Then looked down to notice that I was loosing line to this Sturgeon very rapidly. So, the captain pulled anchor to gain some line back before I was spooled. After a 30 minute battle with the most enormous Sturgeon that I have ever caught, the line went slack. I estimated the Sturgeon to be between 10′ – 12′ and may have weighed nearly 700lbs – 800lbs. The Sturgeon was able to shake our barbless hook. I am sure that this battle may have went for more than a few hours. I sat back in my chair trying to comprehend what just happened. At this point my arms had a very good pump and the day was young.
Once back at the fishing destination we set up our rods again and continued to reel in numerous Sturgeon in and around the 6′ mark. We were fishing Sturgeon in Lillooet on the Mighty Fraser River. Sturgeon Fishing Whistler and Lillooet British Columbia Canada has some of the best Sturgeon fishing in the World. Everyone in the boat got to reel on numerous Sturgeon. The use of Barbless hooks makes it a bit challenging to land some of these fish. Typically we lose nearly 60% of the Sturgeon we hooked. This is not an issue because the fishing is very good.
