This is my late grandfather Red (aka Tautog Sr)
Sturgeon caught off Newport (incidentally) in 1954.
For reference, Red was about 6'3"

I've seen a few in the wild.
I've seen them off East Matunuck, Jamestown and Narragansett, RI.
Two out of the three were alive and kicking. The third one was caught in a net near Black Point. I was unable to free it and when I returned with a knife it had died...sad ending for such a special creature.

You dive without a knife handy? Glad to see you tried/thought about releasing such a magnificent fish. |
 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

ive seen several in the merrimack, they are usually either at the mouth or right in the channel by bridge marina. You know it when you see one, they jump straight out of the water and usually go back in the same way. Most i've seen are in the 3-4' range. cool to see. One particular day at the mouth in a 1-2 hour span i saw 4-5 jump at the mouth, i'm sure many others saw it too, there was a ton of boats that day.
