These are some real fishermen, and fisherwoman who know and respect the species they target. Knowledgeable about the actual fishing and the fishery and species, our sport could stand to have more anglers like them!
Nice job Justin...one of the best vids you've produced. These are real fisherman (and one fine lady fisherperson). Thanks to them for being so respectful to our prehistoric and natural resources
Great demonstration zach . your female deck hand is quite the natural . great casting ability great rod control. congratulations you finally made the big time of being on anglers west tv .you deserve it zach your the man... hayden is going to be jealous lol.....
Hi guys I'll miss you guys at this year's Isc in Sacramento I moved to Colorado last month I'll be at the Denver expo...FYI let Virginia know I was the guy who got the TURTLEBOX and yes it kicks butt. Enjoy the Sac show...TF
Great example of a fisherman who cares about the fishery. I strictly catch and release sturgeon too. I find it hard to keep a fish that’s taken 10-15 yrs to get to 40”-60” to keep.
We harvest all sustainable salt water species (salmon, halibut, cod) during the summer and early fall but once we return to the delta we fish sturgeon exclusively for sport. Though we do have many legal size and some oversize sturgeon per trip, It’s my hope in our lifetime like other sturgeon fisheries we will have a sturgeon population with many massive 100 plus inch monsters to tangle with.
I’ve fished cnr for white sturgeon in the delta for over 20 years in an effort to leave the resource better than I found it for future generations of anglers. I literally say no to a lot of money weekly by only fishing cnr. It’s a personal choice and I do respect and support differences of opinion from all fisherman who follow the law.
Yum-Yum, and Yum some more. I bet those Sturgeons are good eating and tasty and easy cooking, as they are all spiced up and ready to eat, thanks to PG&E.
Awesome video. Nice to see catch n release too. I've only tried sturgeon a few times and we were lucky to seen 1 fish. You straight kill it. Take me lol
On the subject of the merits and demerits of barbless hooks, while the barb certainly makes the hook harder to remove, it does at least hold and not tear the fish's mouth. I do a bit of fly fishing where, if you like to release and you are dealing with rainbow stockies, they are fragile and you have to be quick on the release with minimal damage. Many of us use barbed hooks, but crimp them, meaning push down the barb with pliers. This creates a small but smooth bump, affording the angler the best of both methods. The hook holds, does not tear the mouth and also allows for an easy release.
That`s some great Dinosaur fishing ,Your right the sturgeon that are in the Frasure River system of BC. are incredible 4 - 9 Ft is a common seen some of the native fishermans photos in the 50`s and 60`s being pulled to shore or up into trees using a Jeep .
Garnett M Right. I hooked one that we estimated at 9 to 10 feet long near the ferry crossing by Rio Vista. It was along side our boat when it rolled and snapped off. Our net was too small and it was scary looking anyway. Great fun.
My first try at sturgeon fishing resulted in me being number 3 at hooking up. The first two by my bro and a friend thought they got snagged and cut their lines. I said no to that. We were in a shipping channel up from the ferry crossing. I saw my tip Bob and took a seat and announced. "Hold on boys, we're going for a ride". I set the hook and it was fish on. We were not equipped for this fish. 30# test line on spinning reel. 30 minutes later I got it to the boat. With a big net ready my friend was ready to reach when it surfaced along side of the boat. F*#k that was all he said and it rolled and snapped off. We estimated it at 9 to 10 feet long. Really too big to net yet alone get in the boat. Best fish ever. I showed them two. I asked my bro if we could come back the next day. We did with a lasso and an anchor float. Never happened again. It was a dinosaur. I grew up in the bay area.
I appreciate that reply. I'm wondering if with barbless hooks that the sack might come off on the cast, or in the current, or when falling to bottom, or when the sturgeon plays with it in its mouth?
I chose to go with Daiwa because they are really dominating the market right now with quality and price. The high end Salitgas are awesome but for under $200 you can't beat a Black Gold Saltist with up to 48" of line per handle turn. The Seagate is similar at $149. Also the Sealine at around $100 or the Sealine XH with a great sealed drag for $125. It's the drag and the spool that your paying for so be careful about when you are buying reels. Some companies have cut costs by cutting quality lately. www.daiwa.com/us/ I am a Daiwa dealer so let me know if you need help. For a rod, there are lots of cheap imports available that will catch fish but in the long run you will be much happier with a higher quality rod. Since I've been working with Cousins, I've been impressed with the durability and feel. www.daiwa.com/us/ I'd suggest you go with the best quality you can comfortably afford and get out there and catch some fish.
The audio is normalized to what YT recommends which is way above what is normal for TV. Anymore at it would be over modulated and distorted. On my computer at 50% volume it's almost too loud bear with my headphones. Not sure how to make it any louder for you. It's difficult when everyone is watching on different things from phones to TVs.
You know how I used to sturgeon fish we would tie our line around a rock with a special not and when we would get a bite from a sturgeon the line would untangle from the rock and we would automatically set the hook
Correct me if im wrong, i havent fished for awhile, but i thought u couldnt bring the sturgeon out of water when determining the legal size? Wouldnt that comply with catch and release also?
Mr Yang No that’s wrong. Nobody measures a legal fish if it’s in the water. Only oversized. Don’t you see that everybody nets the sturgeon then measures inside the boat?
If u can look at a fish and tell its exact measurements to the inch, more power to ya.... yes i just reread the regulations, yes its only for oversize... but tell me this, can u tell a 59 inch from a 60 inch to a 61inch? I dont think so, not in the water. Pull an over size out of water, and findout out its just 1 inch over, and having to release it. Well u better hope there no Game warden scoping u out. Id rather be careful than risk gettting fined or snitch out by other fisherman.. but thats me.. 1 reason why fishing off the bank makes measuring any size easier, over or under when fishing for sturgeon.
@@mryang3644 Lol dude this is too funny. A game warden will not ticket you if you take out a 61 inch sturgeon out of the water haha. There is no possible way to tell a 59 in from a 61 in sturgeon so there is no way a game warden will ticket you lmao.
Im surprised your not talking or say something about the attempt of Banning of lead in Calfornia and the Tunnels that Gov Brown wants to do that will affect your show and the Delta Fisheries!!!
There ok fish ,I've caught hogs at roe and dryer but I prefer napa river because it produces hogs on whole squid on big tides .oh by the way this is buckwheat the one and only oversize hunter

In California anglers who wish to keep a sturgeon may retain 3 per year that are between 40” to 60” from the tip of the snout to the fork of the tail. Our laws allow fish 68” or less to be removed from the water for an exact measurement. The law is reasonable and understands that an exact measurement in the water is literally impossible. Green sturgeon may not be removed from the water. Good fishing to you. - Capt Zack

Lmao thats the whole point of fishing sturgeon out here in p town. To eat them
I've seen Virginia Salvador post on Fishbrain. Always catching huge sturgeon and striper. Nice.
Great job Ginny!!! So proud of you.
incredible video

Very good video! I am so tempted to come down and do a sturgeon trip! Thanks for all the information.
Awesome video 👍🏼 , May I know the model Accurate reels you’re using, thanks.
The reels we used during our episode were Accurate’s BX-400 and BV-400
Awesome video. Nice to see catch n release too. I've only tried sturgeon a few times and we were lucky to seen 1 fish. You straight kill it. Take me lol

A Bad Ass With Nice Smile.
That's what's swimming in my backyard? I gotta try this... I've never been fishing before.
Go out with Zach and Virginia. You will have fun.
One of the best video! do you know if the roe were cured or scents added? thk you
The roe was cured and loaded with scent but Zach doesn't like to share that info.
Great fish ! I wanna go fishing with her ☺
WOW....ive never used salmon roe sacks...ive been missing out.

I grew up in the bay area.
Biggest I’ve got out of the Sacramento River was 8.3 feet absolutely giant
An egg-loop might hold the roe-sack on ever better - but it sounds like he does great as is. Great vid.
Dale D. It’s in a sack. No need for an egg loop.
I appreciate that reply. I'm wondering if with barbless hooks that the sack might come off on the cast, or in the current, or when falling to bottom, or when the sturgeon plays with it in its mouth?
Dale D. Bait buttons help the bait not slip off
Can you recommend a different dedicated surgeon rod and reel setup that doesn't cost $750?
HuskyKMA Rod-Phenix Abyss 807 or 808 $189. Reel-Shimano Tekota 600 $189. I live and fish the same area these guys were in

Reel down is key...!
Thanks for the video. It's too quiet though. Can you do something to increase the volume??

oh my I found my dream girl....greetings from Portland, miss catching those grizzly bay sturgeon though....
How do you fish so many rods without all the lines tangling?
Nice
My man Justin got the name wrong @6:33 but still a great video
Correct me if im wrong, i havent fished for awhile, but i thought u couldnt bring the sturgeon out of water when determining the legal size? Wouldnt that comply with catch and release also?
I believe you can take them out of the water if you think the sturgeon is not oversize. Oversize fish cannot be taken out of the water.
I dont know about that. Ive heard from plenty that fish needs to be in the water when measuring and not out.
Mr Yang No that’s wrong. Nobody measures a legal fish if it’s in the water. Only oversized. Don’t you see that everybody nets the sturgeon then measures inside the boat?

Please let me know where I can get me a girl like Virginia Salvador. Thank you🙏🙏🙏🙏
it's raining game in Northern California! just hit the Bay Area and you'll see beezies like that in all walks of life
Why no date on video?
It's in all four segments--April 5th
Virginia's hot
Shes mine, back off🤬
She doesn't like dudes who hasn't caught any sturgies yet ... lmao!!
It's the Humidity.... Specially in the summer.
I thought she had kids

SHES HIRED....
Why aren’t there more girls like virgina
How do you guys get away with using all those rods and only 4 fisherman on the boat with a rod limit being only one rod per person.
Hello Jack B in the California Delta with the purchase of a 2 rod stamp we can fish 2 rods per angler.
I would never eat a fish in that river and besides there ain't no fish in Suisun Bay anyways.
Suisun bay is LOADED with fish
If you think there are no fish in that waterway then you obviously don’t fish

@@gatecrasherfishingadventur2411 Great video, do you use scents with the roe? does it make a different if its frozen? thk you
Best sturgeon fishing is in Idaho. Guaranteed catch. 10 footers all around.
