big freaking fish!

This Sturgeon was caught on the Black River at South Haven Michigan last week.
It weighed out at over 1,000 lbs and measured out at 11'1".
It was 56" around the girth and took over 6 and a half hours and 4 dozen beers for
the 4 guys taking turns reeling.

Note to self......NEVER go swimming in lake michigan again! My aunt and uncle have a sailboat there and I won´t be diving in anytime soon. HOLY COW!
