Jesus, Mary and Joseph, look at the SIZE of that beast! 6 foot 10 inches long, 240 pounds. Depending on how good it’s pad level is, this monster might end up on Mel Kiper’s first mock draft for 2021.
Now I’ve never gone sturgeon spear fishing in my life, but I am fascinated by any living thing that was around when dinosaurs roamed the earth, and is still around today. Literally sturgeon are referenced as ‘living dinosaurs,’ with some fishery biologists estimating that they’ve been around for over 200 million years. That’s crazy. To think, they were around when this report hit and the dinosaurs went extinct:
They watched that when it happened live!
Anyway, the heaviest sturgeon ever caught checked in at 310 pounds, so this sturgeon has a ways to go before it hits that marker, but it’s still insane to see how huge some of these things are. And they estimate that this girl is around 100 years old, so has been roaming around those waters since about 1920. Think about that, she’s seen the Roaring 20’s, World War II, MySpace and Tik Tok. Hell, she can remember when the Lions were winning championships and Detroit was one of the richest cities in the country! Nuts.
PS: Can’t do a ‘big fish’ blog without a Grumpier Old Men ‘Catfish Hunter’ clip:
‘I weight 90 God damn pounds and you bring me this, sloppin’ foam??’
