Have you ever caught a sturgeon or is it still on your bucket list?! 🐟🐟

[gordonthomson]

I am just going to throw this out there. Not at all related to sturgeon, but directly to Eric Swanson so I feel it is pertinent. Long story short, fishing buoy ten with my 5 year old last August. We hook a nice chinook (mid to upper teens upriver bright) and I am allowing him to play the fish with the rod in the holder as he is not quite ready to hold the rod with a nice chinook. Fish runs into Eric's gear. Totally my fault for not controlling the fish a bit more. Instead of being a jack*** as he legitimately had a right to be in that moment, Eric has his client freespool the line so we can land the fish. He and his crew lost at least 15 minutes of fishing time in a decent bite. This is where it gets cool. His clients and he root my son on and make him feel like a rockstar. Not only does one of Eric's client's take some AWESOME photos of my son and I, but he gets my number and texts them all to me....wait there is more....Eric then has me cut the line, and after several attempts by me, refuses to allow me to return the gear (flasher, lead, hootchie, etc) as he says he has plenty of gear. Tells me to keep it (even after I Facebook stalk him to try to return it). But, here is the cool thing. My son is STILL talking about that fish and experience. Literally. And Eric allowed a father and son to have that experience together. So, instead of my son having a bitter taste in his mouth around guides and other fisherman in a challenging situation, he believes we can all work together and cool things can happen. For the record, I have never met Eric and have no affiliation with him. I enjoy the Addicted Fishing site, and I just wanted to take a minute to give an honest review of the man that was featured in today's video. Thanks, Eric. Sorry if this violates what this particular video is trying to show, but this site is about "entertaining, education, and inspiring"....and I felt like this fits in to the mission.

You guys should do a video for shore sturgeon fishing.

Never sturgeon fished but it's nice to watch a professional in his craft.

I finally caught my first 10 footer last September... it was incredible pulling up a sea cow 🐄 that big! Thanks for the sturgeon video! Hopefully you’ll get to film some giant heifers for future uploads!

[petehoward]

Eric, this is just golden advice. Thank you so much. Very rare for such an experienced and successful guide to show to all his secrets of success. You are a rare one.

Going up this weekend! Fish On!!! I love the complete walk through Eric did from anchor drop, set-up, and landing. Keep up the great videos Addicts!

“Butt juice and it has a lot of anise in it” that sounds like pro cure planned that out😂😂

[brandonfenton]

Awesome video! Never been sturgeon fishing, or done any fishing on the Columbia. Always wanted to. The old man and I recently got a boat but are still learning, so that anchoring info at the beginning was perfect. Only trolled so far. Thanks for all the info that you guys are so willing to share!

I love sturgeon fishing i use a 7'9" north river back bouncer rod with a okuma convector spooled with 50 braid ive caught some monsters

[kevinjohnson]

Caught one 6’ 6” this last November. It was an amazing experience.

[JimAllhiser]

The last time I chased sturgeon, Clint and Charles were fishing near by and put on a clinic for my son, his friend and me. Squid was the hot ticket and Clint told me that the Asian markets are the place to get them. Thanks guys. It is always a pleasure to fish next to such nice dudes.

Swanson is a great guide...went out with him salmon fishing in May 2021 and although we got skunked it was a great learning/bs session...I recommend Eric S to everyone

[proteusxavier]

A great hands-on video. Never been sturgeon fishing, so this gives me a great place to start.

[fireguy]

Eric, Nice video with good info. Haven't fished sturgeon in quite a few years. I have a few safety reminders regarding anchoring. Lots of boats have been sucked under by the current pull on the anchor line. Coast guard recommends 7 feet of anchor for every foot of depth I believe. In heavy current you need to be careful about just dumping the anchor and ty ing it off. Need to hold after the ball is thrown to make sure the current doesnt suck the ball under and then pull your bow down . Saw it happen on a 21 foot thunder jet. Fortunately the guy handling the line had not tied it off and just let go of the line, they lost their anchor and ball. ( found it later down stream). Lastly, would have been nice for you to show how to properly pull the anchor and how the ball system works. Oh, and lastly, lastly, shipping has the right of way in the channel. Again, good video.Follow his advice and you will catch fish!
