Big Fish, Unlikely Spot

 


The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service caught a massive lake sturgeon in the Detroit River earlier this week, measuring nearly 7-feet long and weighing 240 pounds.

According to a post on Facebook, the "real-life river monster" had a girth of nearly 4-feet, was 6-feet-10.

It's one of the largest lake sturgeon ever recorded in the country.

According to the USFWS, the assume the fish is a female and likely hatched in the Detroit River around 1920.

    And exactly why did they catch it instead of leaving it alone? And what’s with the F&W moron, with his mask, outside, on a friggin boat…proves everything right there.

      They did release it back in the water. The mask guy obviously is mentally ill

    How do you know it's a guy? I've been working as a fish biologist for 38 years, and in this field, now, men are rare.
