Here is a video of my last trip out with a friend of mine.

I like it! A Nantucket sleighride, Idaho style.

The kayakers on the lower Chesapeake Bay have similar experiences catching bull red drum and black drum, and the increasingly rare cow rockfish (the regional term for striped bass).

Good stuff!

I have been catching sturgeon this way for years. It is my favorite way to fish for sturgeon. But it can be a little dangerous at times.

Only caught one sturgeon in my life and it was an inch short of being legal. Looks like it be worth it to get non resident license.

Idaho style! I've fished steelhead and salmon, but never sturgeon. Thanks for sharing your video.

They are a blast to catch this way. One friend of mine said it was more personal especially with them on your lap.

I love Idaho. Looks like good times with a fair potential for real excitement. Thanks for the videos!

I just did stumble on this thread as I check out more of Wander The West website. You say it's more personal to have them in your lap, do they have teeth? Lordy I can't imagine a fish that big on my line being mainly a stream/river trout fisher. That looks like a sport I could enjoy, for thanks for the ride!

They don't have teeth but they do have scutes. They are a bony "claw" thing all over there bodies. The friend of mine that said it was more "personal" compared it to archery hunting. But in this sport all the fish must be released unharmed.
They are a awesome fish. And this yellow boat has landed a LOT of fish.
