Description
I've waited my ENTIRE LIFE for this moment!
This week on Going Ike, I'm heading to beautiful British Columbia, Canada, with my good buddy Peter to chase a fish I've dreamed about catching since I was a kid!
We're fishing the legendary Fraser River near Chilliwack with our guide Matt from Mainlander, looking for one of the biggest freshwater fish on the planet — the mighty WHITE STURGEON!
I've caught a lot of fish in my 55 years, but NOTHING could have prepared me for this experience. The power, the adrenaline, the fight... this is one I'll NEVER forget!
THIS is why I fish!
