[@gpm4147]

And why do we still allow a gill net fishery in the lower Columbia? Guess that's another discussion.

[@TeamGoneCatchin]

Just to add a little follow up context here about the seasons that WDFW and ODFW set. In this particular area there was a quota set of 670 “slot” limit fish to be taken. The allowable size to be harvested is 38 to 54 of fork length, we cannot keep the “big” ones. The departments regularly conduct mark recapture studies to track the population in the pool and determine population class sizes. If there was decreases within populations or sizes, we would certainly see further restrictions or closures. There’s also a large tribal fishery conducted in the pool as well. The departments adapted a Monday, Wednesday, Saturday season to avoid an overage of quota taken. The breaks in the season allow the catch to be tallied and then also gives notice to the anglers if the fishery needs to close quickly. 89% of the quota was caught on the 1st day, record setting numbers, but it also fell on a major holiday that had perfect weather for fishing. This allowed only 1 other day of fishing, a weekday with substantially less people showing up. The shortest the season has ever gone was 6 days of fishing as wether and temperatures in the Columbia River Gorge can have drastic effects on anglers showing up to participate which did not occur this year. These fisheries have proven to be sustainable with sound management policies that have kept the quotas and fisheries consistent over the years. Yes, many fish died in the 2 days of fishing but not outside the tolerable allowances to keep the fishery going into the future. Another item of note is the sturgeon populations allow for a incredible catch and release fishery that goes the entire year. As much as people want to keep them, they are an absolute blast to catch and release with an extremely low mortality rate due to sportsmen handle. If you haven’t experience a good sturgeon bite, you’re missing out!

[@wabowhunter83]

I sure miss the 2200 fish quotas and the TWO months worth of retention. Actually I miss it 20 years ago when the quota was around 700 and it was open year round with basically no pressure .

[@coleomo]

wonder if we up here in BC will ever get something similar to this, Fraser river sturgeon have been closed for a very long time to any retention. But i dont know the science and politics behind why it would or wouldnt be a good idea.

[@boblove6865]

I hope you are right about sound management. I would love to come out and catch some keepers and toss em back. That hardy fish can easily handle proper catch and release.❤ I bet they are tasty but I am one of those guys hahaha😂

[@ctcraftii]

Great job guys. Thanks for taking us on the water with you Cameron

[@toddknutson6317]

Love the start. A reality is…..cam segment. You’re 100% right. More closures. people will find a place to do what they love. They take fisheries away people will find a place to go. Keep up the good work ADX!

[@danm1319]

I’m right handed but reel lefty. Can’t stand when I get a guide w opposite!

[@danm1319]

Only ever guided ocean fish I catch my own and figure it out on everything else! That’s the fun !

[@gpm4147]

I liked Cameron's pre-dawn discussion about the balance of fishing and the number of fish. With the growth and popularity of fishing, I hope we don't get to the point of fighting to kill the last fish. Yes, I'm one of the guys that has fished for over seven decades in Washington, and has memories of the "good old days" when you could walk across the water on the backs of fish (well not quite). It's easy to point fingers and play "coulda, shoulda, woulda" about the past and who's at fault, but we really do have problems that must be addressed, or our kids and grand kids may live to see the last salmon, steelhead, sturgeon, and on, and on.... Here's a thought, let's talk about it find solutions, instead of pointing fingers at each other.

[@danm1319]

Well said

[@emoney7472]

people just need to stop taking fish. I don't understand how its so hard to understand. Oh is a hatchery so lets kill it that's what its for is so dumb.

[@waddell7354]

What you talked about in the opener. Thats how california is with our pacific halibut. Our quota is so low were lucky to have a season last more than 4 weeks. Especially with our salmon being closed and a very resticted rockfishery

[@garystewart9699]

Great job Cameron and crew! Looked like a great time. Ya California's slot limit starts at 48". Thanks for cleaning demo and the catch and cook...looked delicious!

[@Felic335]

Epic video!! Sturgeon are my favorite fish. It has been my dream for 14 years to catch one.

[@mbolt1980]

I’ve caught a lot of keeper sturgeon this time of year, but I’ve never seen sturgeon so fat and healthy! Got a 53 that same day they weighed 42 pounds.

[@NewlyOutdoors]

I’ve always thought those were a hard fish to go after never tried that kind of fishing but looks awesome

[@Xacerbated]

I want to see a duck bacon video!

[@JigginwithG]

Dayum that duck and sturgeon looks good 🤤🐟

[@blakecurrie6742]

Our New Year’s Day retention season went amazing too there was 16 guys in one little spot on the bank in the bonneville pool and we combined caught 11 keepers all over 41

[@Bossanova125]

Any chance you guys are going to make any more of those dope coffee mugs?

[@georgegeorge6193]

Crazy how easy the fishing is there

[@AAtonyAA]

you guys gotta come to ucluelet in canada the vancouver island has salmon and tuna fishery's, and i bet if you guys talked to real west cost fishing guy hed bring you along

[@mikedegnan5252]

I'm hoping that wdfw can continue manage the sturgeon fishery better than they do the salmon and steelhead fisheries.

[@toddmutchler7800]

Nice job Cam

[@jonathanhines6746]

Long Live the Duck Bacon!

[@debrareitan5305]

This is why I'm looking for land with a river running through it!

[@fkreller1]

100% agreed on the duck/goose comments. Everyone who says they don't like the taste of waterfowl haven't eaten it prepared correctly.

[@jamiegrames7744]

Man wish I lived closer thanks for all the videos

[@humguy707]

Cool video guys... that sturgeon looks like it was pretty tasty

[@weedhopper]

Awesome video cam🤘wish I could of made it out.yall smashed em, good job 👍

[@kennydaiker1980]

We all know the main culprit for salmon,steelhead, and sturgeon are sea lions and now they turned into river lions

[@dieselpotter9694]

how do you fish for sturgeon? are you guys basically just plunking with cannon ball weights and squids for bait?

[@jakeandbradydad]

lol I am not eating a bottom feeder out of that river downstream from Hanford

[@TeamGoneCatchin]

Still fun to catch and release, but I'm sure the others don't mind you leaving a few for them. :)

[@PatrickMagee]

The only sturgeon I've eaten was given to me by a fellow fisherman and I didn't like it at all. I now think I know why - the filet wasn't properly cleaned/trimmed. I'll have to give it another try when I have a chance.

[@RhiceyHarierar]

No wayyyy!!!! 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉🎉❤ hahahahhahahhahha they had to close thats a blast !!

[@perfectleveladventurefishi619]

NEW SUB GOOD STUFF

[@NoName-wj3im]

Guides are most definitely part of the problem they have helped in a. Big way to end fishing on my home river.

[@Shakeandbakeoutdoors]

Love the video! When is the Chile tour dropping??

[@jeffb4612]

That looked like domestic duck. Good job on the video.

[@ClassicHauler]

26:54 he 100% took that duck and tossed it! lol

[@TeamGoneCatchin]

Nope, I ate it. Jeremiah is an incredible wild game cook, I told him off camera I guess it's time to kill ducks again.

[@ClassicHauler]

@@TeamGoneCatchin Heck yah! Not a duck fan myself so I get it. Nice job out there as always!

[@jamiegrames7744]

Sturgeon are fun on steelhead gear in Michigan 😂

[@TravisKroll-p8w]

We have to stop the gill nets hell the Indians are killing the elk on the Hansford project now and in the Naches feeding station its gotta stop

[@davealldrick4482]

Theres not enough people like u guys vancover island steelhead fishing

[@alecplate4000]

because our van island steelhead are almost entirely wild and have been decimated by people and habitat loss! we don't need anymore people fishing for them.

[@nickotto6848]

Wen u guys are coming to the Toronto sportsman show ?

[@sam4667]

Love your guys videos

Was this filmed before the live stream with cam and poppov?

Right before, I was dead tired. lol

@@TeamGoneCatchin thanks! I would be to😂

[@sturgeon_general]

Dont listen to the haters, yall making great content, and guides aren't the enemy. Hell, you could have had 3 trips a day, and killed 20 plus fish a day.

Awesome catch and cook! I love to catch and cook and I’m not a picky eater but I will say duck is my least favorite meat

[@coreycorey2220]

I believe you're right cam. The more opportunities we lose for fishing, the more crowded. Other events become. Do you think petition Signed By Fishermen and hunters Would force Fishing wildlife To Reform, they're fishing wildlife plans. To actually work.

[@ReelFishingNW]

DFW has failed & screwed the fisherman in every damn way possible. From cowering to the wild fish groups. Putting turns & comerants on sand island. To chow on the steelhead & salmon smolt. And then letting the sea lions eat masses of sturgeon salmon & steelhead it is disgusting!

[@alexmcpherson4755]

Why is it it blue?

[@RhiceyHarierar]

💚 🖤

[@edp1801]

It always amazes me that people can't figure out how to reel left or right. Gotta be able to pat your head and rub your belly...

[@KenJohnsonFlyfishing]

In addition to catch-and-release seasons, why not treat the sturgeon fishery like a quality elk or deer hunt? Have drawings for a biologically-determined number of one-fish sturgeon permits. There are just a tremendous amount of good fishermen with top-notch gear and boats now. The demand is becoming greater than the supply.

[@TeamGoneCatchin]

As fisheries keep getting reduced, even outside the sturgeon fishery, sadly, this may be the option.

[@davealldrick4482]

Killing dinosaurs

[@shawnanderson8180]

What about the cheeks??? 😢😢

[@DiamondModderHD]

Let’s just stop reporting our catches maybe they will add more fish so we can report it 😅

[@robbietrigg8400]

I think the states should come up with a limited entry permit for all you guides like us Gillnetter have. Come up with a set permit number and a release date and time so you guides can buy one. This fishery proved one thing and every one of you should think about it. Quota is set from both the states that allow keeping fish. All you guys that fished it did that and it still wasn’t enough for you guys. This is no different from the salmon fishery so once you meet the fish that is set for your fishery and you reach it you are put on the sidelines. If you want to beat it and point fingers bitching about it won’t ever work. Blaming a certain group of fishermen won’t fix it. Point the finger at the problem and with everyone fighting for the something thing then you get change. Keep on getting on and tight lines ppl

[@TeamGoneCatchin]

The problem is, a gill netter is a commercial fishermen that is paid by the killing of fish and bringing them in to sell. A guide is paid for a service that does not require the killing of fish and take sportsmen that participate in the fishery, fish kill or not. Imagine a guide fishery being separate from the rest of the sportsmen where we sit on the sidelines, allow the privates to kill their quota, and then go fish..... You'd have sportsmen fishing both sides of the seasons. Also, you limit the guides from the fishery, they are still sportsmen and go fishing, catching quota even though they are not "guiding" Unfortunately the gill net lobby keeps trying to beat the "commercial guide" drum but the reality is, it's sportsmen that catch the fish, even in the guide boats, and it's sportsmen that catch the quota.

[@wabowhunter83]

​@@TeamGoneCatchin true, until we reach out quota and magically the nets get theirs plus some . Imagine if we got by catch ... How nice that would be .

[@HookedonKings509]

I appreciate the efforts of educating people about fishing. But it’s become such a zoo with guides on the rivers that when the working guys get a chance to fish the quota has been met. Guides shouldn’t be allowed to take people out to fish for endangered species. Just my opinion but open minded people should understand what I’m trying to say.

[@Jack-q4v9p]

I love the channel but I still think it’s bullshit. They close it early because I had over $300 into a trip that just got canceled because the fucking ODW decided to close it.

[@neilforbes1082]

Why do you keep so many wouldn’t one decent size fish feed a family? The reason they stopped the season is too many fish kills.

[@IMKINDOFABIGDEAL13]

It’s per license not per boat.

[@neilforbes1082]

I understand that. What I’m saying is too many fish are being killed that’s why they closed the season. I’m not saying people shouldn’t keep fish to eat but it’s a finite resource. I have fished with old guys who said 50 years ago it’s fine to take a couple of hundred fish they will never run out and now they go out and are lucky to catch 5 or 10 fish. Go figure.

[@berymycociner3220]

Amazing the lack of respect this "guide" has for the resource

[@HookedonKings509]

Videos without Jordan and Big Dave….. SUCK! Just my opinion.

[@boblove6865]

I love you guys but it makes my heart sad when people bonk these dinasaurs. The internet is awful for this particular fishery. These fish could easily be entertained, inspired and educated into extinction. I hope the state has its shit together on this fishery. Doesn’t seem likely given the plight of Salmon and Steelhead in the PNW.

[@maddie33859]

Appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos! 👍
