100-year-old sturgeon measuring almost 7 feet caught in Detroit River
By Jack Nissen
DETROIT - A Michigan lake sturgeon that conservation officers caught last week is one of the largest ever recorded.
Crews said the fish was six-foot-10-inches, had a girth of nearly four feet, and weighed 240 pounds. Caught in the Detroit River, this fish is one of the largest lake sturgeon ever recorded in the U.S. (Alpena Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office via Facebook)
That s according to the United States Fish and Wild Life Service, who estimated the monster marine animal to be at least 100 years old.
To put that in perspective, the cold-water fish was likely hatched during the famed roaring 20s more than a century ago.
