Thursday was calmer and I headed for my honey hole on Suisun Bay -
about 25 miles downrivere. I hammered down the river and across the
bay in pretty lumpy conditions, and tried to fish while the boat
rocked and rolled. I managed one nice sturgeon on the outgo, but he
managed to release himself from the net after my leader broke! He was
probably in the mid-60" range.


Good stuff, Dale.
Figured you would use wire leader. *What's the point of mono leader?

Mono is more forgiving, it stretches instead of breaking.
