SF Bay Area Sturgeon on Avet SX

Yesterday May 14 I went out to the Mothball Fleet in Susiun Bay near Benicia, CA. and fished for Sturgeon. Fished the last couple of hours of the high tide with no good bites, then the first hour of the outgo I got a good pulldown. Set the hook and my Avet SX started to scream. Using 65# Power Pro line and a Travella Rod I was able to stop the Sturgeon who was using the tide to his advantage. The real challange came when I had to net the fish solo. In the boat it measured 52" and 35#. This set up and my Avet MXL with the Trevalla rod work great on the balance beam rod holders we use to detect the light bite of the Sturgeon.
