  • Jay Siemens is at it again and headed to the Rainy River with guest Ryan Lilly in search of sturgeon. Water levels are high, but the team dials in their tactics to land a sturgeon that is nearly as big as their kayak.

    We must have missed you by a day or two! We go up every April for Sturgeon and have an absolute blast. Our boat had a hot day with 14 fish totalling over 57 ft of fish in the boat, 2 being 65".
    Thanks for doing the catch and cook on one. We talk about it every year but we haven't done it mostly because of how cool of a fish they are.

    I caught a legal slot fish a couple years ago in Michigan. I cut up fish nuggets, roll in drakes with Cajun seasoning mixed in. Pan fry until golden brown.

    you guys make watching fishing as good as going fishing

  • @justinbrady5857
    @justinbrady5857 Před 2 lety +1

    It is not for everyone because you're waiting for the fish to come to you and not hunting the fish, but I love fishing from the bank of the North Saskatchewan River near Edmonton for these monsters. The biggest I have gotten was around 60", and at least 40lbs. I add some scent to the gob of nightcrawlers to help the Sturgeon locate my bait, the scent leaves a trail down the river. Very cool watching this episode, and hell of a job doing it from kayaks! Cheers fellas

  • @michaelloveless1403
    @michaelloveless1403 Před 2 lety +2

    That’s incredible. We caught 13 this year and I’ve always thought it would be awesome to catch one in a kayak. This might be the inspiration I needed!

  • @JasonAJames
    @JasonAJames Před 2 lety +2

    We catch gobs of these monsters every year on the St Clair River. Biggest I've seen put on the Algonac boardwalk was 84". Beastly. 25 minute fight on 12' Ugly stiks running 40-60 lb test braid.

    Caught some 3 and 4 footers all within an hour of wisconsin river just last week! It was insanity. Slider weight and octopus hooks with night crawlers will do it. Been to the same spot and used the same rig but cut bait and caught tons of catfish, but the worms are the only thing a sturgeon will take

    We most definitely have Catch and keep sturgeon here on the east coast of Canada. 140cm minimum, no limit, both Atlantic and Shortnose in the Saint John River in New Brunswich. Been fishing them my whole life.
    Most of us who target them rarely keep them. I try not to keep more than two a year.

    where I live in canada it's unlimited sturgeon closed only for the month of June but the fish has to be a minimum of 130cm/approx 51 inches and not max size limit so I'm excited to be going for them once I finish getting the rest of my setup

    Just gets me amped up to go out on the water. Headed up to Lake Athapapuskow for the July long weekend. Won't get sturgeons but hopefully some monster lake trout. I'll try to catch some walleye and make those fish dumplings like on a previous Jay video. Trying out Neso Lodge for the first time and looking forward to it. Your videos are great Jay!
