It was a special day on the Columbia River as my daughter, her fiancé, and a few close friends—who helped her move back to Washington from Kansas—got treated to an unforgettable sturgeon trip.
Captain Tony wasn’t about to let them head back to Kansas without a shot at wrestling with one of the Columbia River’s legendary monsters.

Despite a little rain, the action was non-stop. The bites came fast, the energy stayed high, and the rods were bending all day long. Everyone got in on the action, landing some absolute beauties and creating memories that’ll last a lifetime.

This trip wasn’t just about fishing—it was about celebrating new beginnings, good friends, and sharing a truly Northwest experience before the crew headed home.

Big fish, big laughs, and a whole lot of heart.
That’s what it’s all about.
