I second this. Fished with Sturgeon Hunter in 2019. We fished with Steve the owner and he did not let us down. 10 fish the first day only 1 under 5 feet. An 8'6" and a 7'9" topped it off.Much of the same the second day, 7'1" being the winner. He will accommodate 5 people. You can ask him to give the Groom his special belt to use.

Hahaha yeah the first time that belt comes out is classic WTF moment. Funny as hell.
A good friend of mine goes with him every year. Highly recommends him
Earlier the better....freshet is a pain! Have fished them for going on 25-30 years....
The "mangina!"..... Funny, the number of clients I have taken out over the years (no, not a guide) and watch they struggle with a larger fish and then I pull out the strap on and ask if they need it......

You've got the biggest freshwater fish of your life on the line, the weight and power are unbelievable. Then suddenly some dude you only met a few minutes or hours earlier has his arms around you in the pants region. That's pretty distracting as it is, but then you look down and see... well, you're gonna hafta take a trip with the Sturgeon Hunter guys to find out more. You will laugh. A lot.

thanks for the input guys I booked through the sturgeon hunter it was quick and easy and he got back to me right away
You won't regret the trip....The most fun I had with my clients is when the "elite" fly fishers get on your boat and you try to teach them how to set the hook....
Many of the businesses I deal with in my job, also love fishing. It is great to get them out on my boat.... the memories are priceless! one always stands out, spent a year or so trying to line up a time that worked for both of us. He was an avid fly fisher. Finally got him and two of his guys out.
He was first up....had a tough time (as many do) understanding the hook set, so I set it for him and passed off the rod. It was a nice fish, just shy of 7'....the fish gave him a hell of a work out.... after releasing the fish, he just sat there.....I asked him if he was okay. His response was nothing in this world will ever match the feeling he was having then.
Make sure you get lots of pictures and you need to film the outing. The jumps, the runs, the sheer power is something all fisherman need to feel, at least once.
