Sturgeon Excursion Teaser - Ice Out

[walleyejon]

Deitz, Yeah, I do the camera proud don't I? Just wish there was some footage of all the pout I was catching. Anyone can catch those big mouth sturgeon, but it takes talent to set a hook that big in the relatively small mouth of a pout.

Leech,

I'll be ready to hit the water with you whenever you can make it.

As for the pike. Rick's measured just shy of 43 inches, and if memory serves, all of us caught at least one over 37 that day. As Fisky mentioned, there are other areas to find those toothy s.o.b's. in the Spring, so you don't have to drive all the way to Warroad if you're staying in the Baudette area.

Did you measure that fish Jon? Better add or subtract 4.5 inches eh! LOL!

In the case of above mentioned Pike subtract. In the case of my walleye 2 weeks ago Saturday add! Is 4.5 inches a standard deviation, or 'yardstick', for any particular reason Jon! Rather ironic I'd say!!!

Some peoples memories and measuring skills are not to be trusted anymore.

[walleyejon]

For those who are wondering, Fisky brought a walleye over to my fishouse for me to measure for him a couple weeks ago. He did not hang around to watch the measuring take place, and said it was about 26 inches. When he hollered over from his shack for the actual measurement, I told him 22 inches.....I couldn't bring myself to tell him his 26" guess was only a half inch off, and that he guessed too short. So here it is Fisky, my public announcement that your fish was indeed 26 1/2".

The measurement on the pike in question was accurate to plus or minus a half inch, and I just witnessed the measuring, I didn't perform it.

Its on then Jon! I'll let you know when the trip is going to be. I can't wait trophy pike PLUS monster sturgeon!

[Darin Ingalls]

Yo John...I tried to make those pout look like a Sturgeon..with not much luck. I am really looking forward to this trip. It was by far the best I have been on in nearly 30 shows we have done. And to be honest I had as much fun taking Rick and Deitzs money playing poker back at the cabin.

Also be sure to look for a 30 inch Marriah (as they are called up north der on da Red of the North) We know them as Ling Cod, Eelpout, Lawyers, bourbout.

I should have the Giant Greenbacks of the Red(walleyes) HotSpotOutdoors show Part 2 done in the next few days. Some real hogs coming thru the Ice again! To bad I just get to edit this one.

I hope you all enjoy the shows as much as I do making them!

[iffwalleyes]

Well hurry up with the red river one Darin it will be a fun one for sure.

[walleyejon]

Holy Cow Darin, you hit double digits in posts!!!!! Now we have something extra to celebrate in April. If we end up bunking with Wiskers again, I call a room he's not in right now. I had to throw away a couple hundred dollars worth of clothing, because I couldn't get the odor out. Happy Holidays......

[Darin Ingalls]

I hear that Jon! Rusty should bottle that for stink bait! As I recall he did have a couple jars of secret sauce he used to dip his crawlers in....Did you check the ingredients?

[Wiskers]

I"ll never tell....... That vid turned out pertty good for bad sound.. I think it still looks just fine. You know fisherman, then exadurate so much... The one that got away was this big.............. LOL... Stink? What stink..LOL..

[fisherking01]

Hey Deitz, good info. Thought I'd hop it back to the top. Talking to my wife's great uncle, who was there in the 20's 30's until the mid 40's. He was employed by the paper mills - lumber industry. They used to spear the sturgeon with the log rollers and let em float off down the river. He said in the early days there were huge sturgeon. in the later years there were few and they weren't the size of the first. Too bad they weren't understood as they are today. They sure are fun to catch.

[I Da Man]

I'm so sorry, Uncle Albert.

[I Da Man]

What did I do? I think I broke it????

[Dennis Steele]

Some one needs to wash your mouth out with soap!

They were working on the server upgrade, thats why that happened.

[icehousebob]

Dennis, you beat me by a few minutes. I was going to say that his momma should whup his butt.

Dennis, if you need any help with cats on ice, give me a call. I have a long weekend before that event. And I know how to cook for crowds. I raised four LARGE sons.

[Deitz Dittrich]

even knowing that the server was being worked on.. I still think mama should whoop his but..

[I Da Man]

I was raised on soap!!!

Here's what I wanted to say...I pulled out the 152 (go ahead, count them) Contact us!

Generally speaking, it seems to be human nature to miss things once thier gone. Starting to hunt and fish in the 60's and '70's, seldom seeing a 5 lb walleye (and if I did it was on a stringer), having closed pheasant seasons and a one drake mallard limit...I'm really happy to be alive today to enjoy the wildlife and the fishing we have today.

It's amazing!

Those bass guys just seem to hold a grudge!

[hanson]

Brian-

You have to stop threatening to use their prized fish as cutbait.

We all know the 5-6 pounders cut up better than the small ones.

I dont think many of the fish Brian caught last year would of had a problem taking a live 5 lb Bass for bait.. why cut them up and get that stinky bass slime on your hands when you dont have to?

Spring is almost here guys, I cant wait.
