Sturgeon at Pt. Judith

A guy I work with foul hooked a 100+ pound Sturgeon while fishing Pt. Judith this morning. He had no idea what he was bringing in, but it was big! 15-20 minutes of holy S%&#. When it surfaced he thought it to be a shark but as it got closer it was a foul hooked Sturgeon.

I remember coming across a massive dead one on the south side of block years ago. It surprised the hell outta me, because I thought up to that point that they were strictly a fresh water river fish...

And a foul - hooked ANYTHING is a fight!

Spud, he got some very nice shots to document that! What hook placement! That must have been a bear to reel in.

Wasn't that catch made up in the Merrimack River and not PJ? At least that's what the Surfland post on Facebook with the same images indicates.

Thats Kevin. I made a mistake, he rented a house at Plum Island not Pt. Judith. Thanks Toby for bringing this to my attention.
