The morning was grey and cold, as days often are in January along British Columbia’s Fraser River. Yet Yves Bisson knew that there would be big sturgeon biting despite misgivings from his biologist client that day, the famous YouTube personality Forrest Galante.

To ease the chill, Bisson’s boat was stocked with hot coffee and doughnuts from Tim Hortons. He also had fish eggs to bait the great prehistoric bottom-feeders this river is world famous for.
