Real Life River Monster Pulled Out of Detroit River
This is something that looks like it would be straight out of the television show River Monsters.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recently pulled a giant lake sturgeon out the Detroit River. This sucker is massive at nearly 7-feet long and weighs more than 200 pounds.
Before you start freaking out, don't worry, they quickly threw her back after being processed.

A once in a lifetime catch for our Detroit River native species crew last week! This real life river monster was tipping the scales at 240 lbs, measuring 6'10" long, and a girth of nearly 4'. Caught in the Detroit River, this fish is one of the largest lake sturgeon ever recorded in the U.S.
