500lb Fish On the Wrong Gear!

What happens when you hook into a fish that could weigh as much as 500b and measure 9 feet long? You hang on for dear life, and you fight like hell!

Now! Thats a rod & reel intro I'd love to see

[@Idahohighcountry]

Ole King Kong showed Spencer her big guns 😂 didn’t know Spencer could be tamed by a fish 😉😆

[@CastBlastCamp]

I love the sound of drag peeling! Especially when its something that massive! Nice fishing!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

It's a great sound but it starts getting scary when it won't stop

[@bc2334]

The Idubbbz of fishing 😂

[@TotallyNoCat]

Don't ever compare that degenerate to this certified badass.

[@anthonymccaslin3325]

Hahaha I just found your channel and I did not expect to see Spencer 😂

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Hey everyone, two things... First, be sure to check out the incredible gear from Terra Firma Tackle! terrafirmatackle.com/collections/freshwater-tackle terrafirmatackle.com/collections/freshwater-tackle/products/dino-special-sturgeon-catfish-hair-rig Second, the estimated 500lb is just a guess based purely on the possibility that the fish in question was in the 9-10 foot range (using a chart with corrosponding weights provided by Idaho Fish and Game). I caught a sturgeon 7.5 feet long later that night and landed it on much smaller, cheaper gear. Whatever this was had to be SIGNIFICANTLY larger to smoke the much stronger, more expensive gear so effortlessly. Just a guess though 🤷‍♂️

[@Flahmas]

That had to be an absolute monster, it's crazy how well they know their environment to mess fishermen up. Glad you guys were still able to get a good-sized one. I wish this trips videos would get more views because they are good and I know you had so much fun. Can't wait for the monsters and great videos coming up as always. Great video!

[@davidpaylor5666]

Great stuff, thanks for sharing it with us. Those are some astonishing fish, really appreciate your love and respect for them.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I appreciate it

[@pechealamoucheausilureetau370]

500lb ??? never !!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

It would only have to be between 9 and 10 feet long, and that river has them. We both caught fish a bit under 8 without much trouble, so yeah, it was one of the giants.

[@sweddishboi2739]

At first I thought the guy in the first few seconds was you, and with the beard and hair, I was like damn, I haven't watched this channel in a minute, until I realized it was someone else lmfao

[@fluty0562]

WOW!!!!! Blowed me away!

[@bufon63]

I've never seen a run like that. Beyond belief. Thanks for sharing and subscribed.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

It must have been a giant

[@gregorystevens-mn5kf]

Dream trip for me! I have plans to start with the Lake Sturgeon near me. Out of my kayak.

Sounds fun

@@wildlifefishingshow I am lucky where I am in the country. I can be in Blue Cat water in an hour or so and be in prime Walleye water in less.

[@jacobyots8171]

Sick video

[@rgarlinyc]

Man - that was some fish he snagged - and I can only imagine the one that got away! By the way, what fish species was it - and if you don't mind, can you say where you guys were? The place looks amazing, somewhere to get lost in for a few days away from the chaos of everyday life...

[@stan7816]

The fish was a sturgeon, a "prehistoric" species that is quite unique. It looks like they were fishing the Snake River. If not the Snake, certainly somewhere in the area (Eastern Oregon/Washington/Idaho)

[@rgarlinyc]

@@stan7816 Thanks a lot!

A good reel for this could be one of them Avet Mxl or MC

[@victorkaegi8716]

That first fish was a monster

[@joseluispazalvarino1540]

A really good and exciting video, really He was a monster. If it is not too much trouble you could recommend me somewhere where to stock up on good fresh bait for sturgeon is?, I am from Spain and I am preparing a trip to Idaho and it would be of great help. Greetings and great work with the channel

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I'm from Texas and I honestly don't know where Spencer took us for this video

[@joseluispazalvarino1540]

Very friendly anyway, thank you for your time, best regards.

[@tadhghayden8440]

I would pre plan a high bank follow strategy route, once the spool goes below a certain level..... extreme fishing man...

[@wildlifefishingshow]

He did, that's something he's done before, just didn't work this time

[@Mooskellunge]

Hooked a 25lber on a medium action 7' with 8lb leader. Sturgeon know how to fight.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Sounds fun

[@brianlangford7278]

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I think they just got progressively lower through the fight and Spencer had bigger priorities at the moment, lol

[@paulmanzone8373]

@@wildlifefishingshow I get the priority part trust me, been a fisherman my whole life, but in an adult and I'm pretty sure he is also lol but all good,, 😉
