As the hissing of sand on the hull of the boat lulls you into a relaxed state of mind, you notice your guide tense up and become concentrated on the rods. You saw nothing, but your guide seems to have sensed something. Then, sure enough, the #1 rod pulls down ever so slowly, your guide says “BIG ONE”. As you move for the rod you are cautioned, “remove it gently”. Now you are ready, rod in hand and waiting for the time to strike. As the rod pulls down again, your guide says “wait, wait”. The tension is fierce… now the rod slowly pulls down hard once more and you hear “STRIKE” and with that you strike hard. Upon striking it seems you have hooked bottom, nothing but solid weight. Then in an instant- your line is peeling off and it seems you may be spooled before the boat can be freed of its anchor. Just then, the surface of the river erupts into splashing water and an 8 foot Sturgeon rises out of the depths like some kind of launched missile. You’ve just been introduced to your first Fraser River Sturgeon and it will be more than half an hour, and an arm aching battle before you and fish join together in the water of the Fraser River to capture this moment on film.
