8,000 Feet Down: Catching a Monster in North America's Deepest Gorge

In this episode of Abandon Outdoors, the crew heads deep into the rugged basalt walls of Hell’s Canyon on the Snake River for a three-day expedition. Our goal? Tie into the biggest, most powerful freshwater fish in North America: the White Sturgeon. From empty hooks and heartbreak to a tactical shift downstream, we push the jet boat to its absolute limits. Watch the redemption arc unfold as the rods buckle, reels scream, and we go toe-to-toe with living dinosaurs. 👇 BOOK YOUR ADVENTURE 👇 Looking to experience the adventure of a lifetime for yourself?
