Hey buddy,maybe next time you gonna upgrade your fishing set if not those fish who will break it😂😂

[@robertmceuen3630]

Wow!! The drag on that reel was put to the test! You manage to find the most ideal places to fish, and DO reel in the monsters. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I dream about catching fish like you. I'm basically a cat fisherman, and am looking for some 10-15lber's.

Any fish over 50 lbs is from my dreams 💀

[@fatmoron7644]

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Fair enough

[@loganboyer8816]

Any fish over 12 inches this year is the fish of my dreams lol. Having my worst season to date.

[@Ogga137]

any fish at all is my dream

[@karimmokran1698]

The raw footage of the fight, makes the video so intense. Congratulations!

[@taupehat]

Great fight, great fish. I caught a 115-lb sturgeon against a 4kt current, 45 minutes later it was landed and I was absolutely done. They are impressive, ancient beasts.

[@BradyBigfooter]

I love the environmental b-roll to give a fuller picture of this experience!! Beautiful fish and amazing catch!!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I appreciate it

[@observing7312]

Agree, the b roll was good, and you can include more of it.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

@observing7312 thanks, originally this video and a bunch of other fish and footage from the trip was going to be one very long, very different type of video, but my computer kept crashing trying to process the footage

[@robertmceuen3630]

Ok. I've watched the entire video. Possibly the best "fishing" video in the history of You tube. You have my vote; you should receive a prize for your efforts.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I genuinely appreciate it

[@Flahmas]

Just got back from vacation and had to rewatch this video in 4k quality, with headset on, and good internet setting before I could comment. What an amazing fish, that reel was screaming for help. Caught my first-ever rainbow trout in Colorado and it's always amazing to be able to experience a fish you've never caught before. Loved the video and the entire fight that went into that awesome fish! Looking forward to the next video as always.

[@hkl378]

This is incredible. I really enjoy your style of hardcore fishing. I am a big fan of yours and always wait for new upload. You are an amazing fisherman.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I appreciate it 🙏

[@miguelbarrero5572]

From the sands of Arizona again, thats a great way to stay outta the sun.. fishing at Night 😊. Love the capture of you from another Angle. Puts perspective on the Power of fish and Man. Also I could smell and hear them gears giving their All. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.

That looks like a sturgeon. Chances are that fish is older than your grandfather. They can live to be over 100 years old!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Indeed

[@CastBlastCamp]

Truly amazing! I bet that was some awesome adrenaline dumping! Fish on brother!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I completely underestimated how powerful those sturgeon would be

Excuse me, but it certainly looked at 1:09 as though you were being marooned on a desert island with only a can of beans and no can opener!!! 😂😂🤣🤣

[@wildlifefishingshow]

If there was whiskey, wouldn't be a bad deal at all

[@juanrivera4003]

I’m glad the reel didn’t give out on you. Nice catch! Definitely would love a repeat with a more suitable reel to have as a comparison as how the fight feels from your perspective

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Thanks! I caught multiple decent sized sturgeon on an Avet and heavier rod a few nights before we filmed this video, and while the power was still immense, the fight wasn't this difficult (that video is on my Patreon)

[@Fishin-mission1]

Always a blast to land a sturgeon. Your in my neck or the woods lol. Fight of your life for sure. Keep up the great content.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Dragon battles...nice one....

Was a blast

[@kwalkjr9938]

Nice man...ive watched you catch Alligator gar but this seemed to be a better fight ? Maybe because of your reel selection ? Either way awesome!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

They fight waaay harder than alligator gar, as I found out

[@SamFisher2023]

Wow wow wow)))

[@twotonesr5]

It's phenomenal man. So compared to your giant Gar.... What fight was more fun??

[@wildlifefishingshow]

This fight was harder from a physical standpoint, but the steaks in that gar fight were so much higher since I knew it was going to be a near record sized animal. The sturgeon fought harder, but the gar was a nail biter.

[@mathew00]

Ya know when people from the south go on a ski trip and they have to condition their legs before the go. I'd have to do some serious conditioning before attempting a fish like that!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

It was much harder than I anticipated

[@michaelclinard4969]

Great catch and what a bad a** rod and reel excuse my French, but where is this located? What an epic battle and great catch. Wow😮

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Somewhere in Idaho, not sure exactly where

[@thekid2413]

what reel where you using?

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Daiwa BG 5000, definitely not equipped for this (I got lucky)

[@mottledtoast3912]

I onced hooked a dream tarpon but my reel sadly wasnt strong enough and he broke off😅

[@wildlifefishingshow]

That must have hurt

[@mottledtoast3912]

Yeah mentally and physically because i never hooked a fish so strong

[@rodicmilorad5]

40 to 50 pounds off mono and good casting reel that can hold less 300yrds line of mono

What test line are you using?

80

[@Tagerrun]

Why do you put your thumb on the reel and walk back?

[@chadcase9565]

Smells like brake pads. Oh I miss sturgeon. I was giddy for a week after my 8 footer! I'm glad for you! I would suggest changing your drag washers now.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I just bought a new reel, lol

[@israelybarra9643]

I miss seeing the rod I made for you

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I still use it all the time, it's just been a while since the rivers have been fishable for gar.

[@fatmoron7644]

How'd you know that was the fish of my dreams?!

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Just marketing tactics

[@naumanahmadtariq8717]

If it was a smaller reel like 5000 series it would have been smoked.

[@anonymoususer-kd6cl]

Was this caught in Texas?

[@wildlifefishingshow]

No, in Idaho

[@alansloan88]

Alright.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

🤷‍♂️

[@Maxim.Teleguz]

Why don’t you ever keep the big fish?

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I do this whole channel to show wildlife for purposes of conservation education, so I rarely eat the fish and I never kill the large ones

[@Idahohighcountry]

Fingering and palming the spool the whole fight? Run proper gear and real drag and you don’t have to do that. Nice fish though congrats

15 pound bass would be someone's dream
