Cornell’s Biological Field Station… ever heard of it?
It’s always exciting for anglers to set a new record. It’s even more exciting, however, when an angler sets a new record by breaking one they themselves had previously set.
Researchers at the Cornell Biological Field Station recently set a new local record in upstate New York while on a trip on Oneida Lake. The group posted about the record on its Facebook page, where it explained that researchers caught 20 sturgeon over the course of a three-day trip, one of which was reportedly the largest ever caught in the lake.

Members of the Cornell Biological Field Station at Shackleton Point netted the largest fish ever found in Oneida Lake on Wednesday, while completing a three-day sturgeon netting survey.
As part of the survey, researchers net 12 different sites across the lake, from Three Mile Bay to Verona Beach, to weigh, tag and release the sturgeon in the lake.
