i respect your opinion.............however i will not change my catfish set-up because there are sturgeon where i am cat fishing. i use a sliding egg sinker on my line and a big ol' barbed hook. if a sturgeon bites my nitecrawler and breaks my 20 lb test, i didn't put the hook in there mouth.... not trying to flame post but i feel like the f&g is opening a can of worms here . how do you prove you are sturgeon fishing? i have had lots of sturgeon break my line. i have shed no tears.........this summer my fishing buddy hooked two in one day on cut-bait perch fishing, and obviously broke his 4 lb test. are we to use 50 pound braid for perch ? not flaming this issue just bring a perspective from a bass-catfish guy. hope we don't turn sturgeon into a spotted owl .
