Lukosevicius is from Squamish, B.C., but wasn’t much of a fisherman growing up. But one player who is not scared to catch and hold a sturgeon is local kid Jarid Lukosevicius. He’s excited to talk fishing with some of the Canucks’ other anglers on the team but does believe that a big sturgeon may freak out winger Justin Bailey. Arseneau has recently taken up scuba diving and is just a lover of the water who wants to share that with his teammates on a team fishing trip. Many of the Canucks say that it’s hard to stop Arseneau once he starts talking about fishing, with stories about catching a 230-pound halibut, his dad catching an 800-pound tuna, or even how Quebec lobster is better than New Brunswick lobster because of the difference in sand and rocks. I just love doing it.” Vincent Arseneau (in orange pants) It’s part of where I’m from and part of my blood. We get out there and run the boat and do everything like the show. It’s kind of like the ‘Deadliest Catch’ show. “I’ve done the crab season for the last two years. “I’ve got to make sure to get a paycheck,” said Arseneau as he chuckled. With the COVID-19 pandemic, Arseneau has been out on a crabbing boat for the past two summers. Arseneau’s grandfather was a fisherman and Arseneau reminisced on being a kid and riding his bike down to the water to catch mackerel that he would sell on the street to make a little cash. The team’s tough guy and veteran presence has grown up around the water. There are a handful of players who spent their offseasons enjoying the calm waters and occasional bites at the end of their line. He was so excited, Sam got his name in the local paper and he got this plaque. He ended up winning the fishing derby for his age group with that fish. He was fighting this thing and was jacked right up, he was so excited.
“At the time, he was lucky to be 60 pounds soaking wet. “My son Sam threw his first cast out and hauled in a largemouth bass that was over five pounds,” said Cull. Cull and his family were visiting Old Forge, which is about an hour north of Utica, when his son hit the jackpot. He and his son had some luck that resulted in his 10-year-old hauling in a monster bass. I would love to get out with the team.” Sam CullĬull spends his offseasons around the Utica, N.Y., area, the former home of the AHL team. “We will definitely need a guide for sturgeon fishing. “A fishing trip or something along those lines is a thing we are definitely going to entertain here in the Fraser Valley,” said Cull. Sturgeon is on the mind, and head coach Trent Cull may be the man leading the charge. With the Fraser River being home to the mammoth sturgeon fish, the Canucks’ locker room has been abuzz about reeling in one of these prehistoric-looking river monsters. It’s the invigorating feeling that you get when you set a hook and feel the fish pulling back instead of reeling in a salad or snagging bottom. When hockey is your job, you need a hobby away from the rink to calm your mind.įor many of the Abbotsford Canucks players and coaches, that offseason hobby is done on lakes and rivers, with a fishing rod in hand.
