River Monster.
240-lb. 'River Monster' Fish Caught in Detroit 'Has Been Roaming Our Waters Over 100 Years'
Biologists have discovered an extremely rare "river monster" in the Detroit River that they believe has been lurking in the water since 1920.
A three-person crew from the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office in Alpena, Michigan, made the unexpected catch on April 22 while they were conducting their annual study of the river's sturgeon fish population, according to an agency statement obtained by PEOPLE.
"It was the biggest fish our team has ever seen," Jason Fischer, one of the fish biologists that caught the sturgeon, said in the statement. "This fish took all three of us to get it onto our boat."
The massive 6-foot, 10-inch lake sturgeon, who weighed in at an impressive 240 lbs., is believed to be one of the largest sturgeon ever recorded in the United States. Biologists estimated the sturgeon to be a female, hatched around 1920. After being measured, weighed, and marked with a unique tag, the fish was released back into the river so biologists can identify her if she's ever caught again.
