When Carrie called and said that they were coming for a 2nd visit to Canada and wanted to take a crack at redemption after breaking off a monster fish two years ago. She was determined to have some extra help as her 14 year old son was out for summer holidays and as he put it, "The biggest fish I ever caught was 8 lbs". Well this morning the fish didn't wait and I wasn't even through giving instructions as to what to do if a fish bites when rod #3 hammered down and the battle was on. The first fish took us 45 minutes to get to shore when it found a snag to wrap around and broke itself off. Undaunted we went out again and a few hours later when the tide finally changed in our favor that blessed fishing chaos of "the bite" ensued. Three of the four rods started bouncing, and we quickly landed a 3 footer, then pulled in a 5 ft 9" after a very feisty battle for a boat side release. That left rod #3 with Mr. Big on the line which I estimated to be in the 7 ft. range. Thankfully, Mr. Big went into a bottom sulk and didn't give us any grief till we began to retrieve in that line. Then all He__ broke loose! After almost an hour of muscle wrenching sweat our Austin team landed their fish and photo of a life time. Harry's largest fishing experience went from 8 lbs to 7 ft 7 inches (232 cm) and 227 lbs (104 kg) As Harry's mom said later, "This was our second visit out with Peter to the Fraser River to try and hook some monster sturgeons, this time with our 14 year-old son along for the adventure! We unbelievably were able to hook three "shore fish" (Sturgeon over 5 ft (1.35 m) long), land two of them, and after an epic battle bring the 7 ft 7" one to land! Peter’s expertise, incredible patience and love of this amazing creature makes the whole experience unforgettable. We look forward to the next adventure whenever our paths cross again!
