An Alberta man had no roofing work to do in the middle of the winter in Canada so he decided to go fishing with his girlfriend.
What Braeden Rouse didn’t expect to catch earlier this week was the biggest haul of his lifetime, an 8-foot, 6-inch, 350-pound sturgeon.
“Roofing closes down in Alberta for the winter because of the cold weather, so we came out here so we could work during the cold weather,” Rouse told CTV News in Calgary.
Rouse was accompanied by his girlfriend Sidney Kozelenko at a fishing spot on the Fraser River.
“We had the weekend off, so we decided to go try our luck,” said Rouse.
And what luck it was!
It took Rouse a half hour to bring the big fish closer to show, but he needed help from his kayak and his girlfriend.
“I knew it was big,” he explained. “You can tell it’s big because when you go to pull, it won’t move… like, it won’t budge, and it’ll actually start running.
“As soon as it started running, I’m like, ‘Okay, I need to hop in my kayak.’”
That’s when Kozelenko started videoing the event on Facebook.
Rouse told CTV News that he was being pulled all around the river by the fish, which started going downstream, so Kozelenko hopped in her boat and paddled after him.
“The surgeon started pulling me upstream, which is interesting,” Rouse said. “I battled him for about 25 minutes on river, and then we finally tired the fish out.”
“We’re trying to figure out ‘How do we get to shore?’ … So we had some ropes on our boats, luckily, so Sidney tied the rope to her boat and she paddled as I was battling the fish. She paddled to shore and then pulled me in the rest of the way.”
“It was pretty exhilarating,” Kozelenko added.
When the two got close to shore with the monster catch which resembles a dinosaur, they released it back into the water.
