Ah Ha!

I found it. Of course Fisky had to basically knock me over the head with it, but check this thread out. There are some BIG sturgeon in that river.

I'd copy the pics to this thread but theres a lot of pics in that thread.

Hibbing, of course you can weasel in, these cat guys threw the idea out here first only 'cause the Sturgeonfish has whiskers I'd reckon!

And also it'd be great for you to make it 'cause folks may rather tie up to your boat vs. anchoring themselves after seeing that pic of your WHALE! grin.gif

You know Hibbing I've fished up here all my life and I am jealous of you! What a catch.....WOW!

Thanks Fiskyknut! I was tied up all night reading a post in the RR forum! grin.gif

If the likes of mortgage/musky guys are going...anyone can go! LOL!

Just an FYI for any non registered lurkers...YOU are welcome too! You don't have to be a member of anysite...just need to want to have a good time with a chance to land a biggun! I should point out that once you fish with this crowd...I'm guessing you'll want to register!

As far as open seats and rides go...we can work that out a little later. If you can line up a seat on your own and/or post if you'll be taking a boat and have an open seat...that would be great!

At this point we're just trying to get the best cabin price we can... and we need a count to make that happen.

Big G? Are you counted as in? Need a room? Staying with JP? (please leave HB at home, I'm in enough trouble already! crazy.gif)

I forgot all about posting the pics of the sturg from our trip. Thanks for bringing back great memories Dennis. I still am getting excited about next spring...gotta tie into one bigger than my 50 incher. I had her last April. Fought her for a good half hour without seeing her then she came unbuttoned. She was "THE ONE." grin.gif

Put me, and a yet to be named player, down as definitely a strong maybe. We would probably day trip it from Hibbing or stay with a friend. Gotta put some serious seat time in 4 Mile Bay in an attempt to beat my personal best!

There wouldn't be any type of wagerin' at this event would there?

Coool your gonna make it Mr. Hibbing, serious is right you may have the Sturgeonfish of a lifetime with that one.

You brought up a friendly wager, and I've done the Sturgeon thing up here a time or 2 since the 70's with only a non-girthy 64 to show for it....{it's thin not small}!

Now with a wagering brought in, and in order to make it all a level playing field for all, Mr. Hibbing we would need to know whether you carry a Rabbit's foot or a horseshoe in your boat? confused.gifgrin.gif

I could see maybe a 'community pot' type wager thrown in by each angler who may want to, we could all keep it honest, with maybe something like......

Buck from everyone for the angler with the first Sturgeon.

Buck for the biggest.

Buck for the most.

Buck for the smallest?

Catch a burbot and that'd be another buck from you to the angler with the biggest.

This Burbot clause could get interesting too. 4-5 years ago on the bay in spring a buddy and I were a fish'n Sturgeon. Well he got 6 or 7 nice Sturgeon, Me not a 1, but I caught an easy 25 Burbot.....Ouch!

Individual wagerings at the discretion each Angler involved of course.

Brian now you know what I mean with the 'long and windy' bit and such prior on this thread eh! Need more on my position, lol, thats where the sarcasm ? came from in that e-mail eh.

Good ideas there Fisky!

I like the "friendly wager" idea.

Wiskers has done the $10 entry, biggest fish takes the pot on the Red Lake River in Crookston for his little gathering.

I think for the sturgeon, it should probably be longest or maybe length x girth measurements verified with digital photos. Just a thought... Everybody meet up afterwards and share photos, stories, and see who takes the kitty.

$5 for biggest fish, $5 for smallest fish maybe. Keep it rather cheap.

If I have anyone in the wrong group, please let me know. Some of the "I'll be there" posts were a little vague on if they needed a room or not. I'm trying my best to keep up!

If this is the case, everyone should bring up five extra bucks to loan Dennis. wink.gif
