This catch is un-reel!

A monster 200-pound Atlantic sturgeon was netted in the Hudson River near the Big Apple by conservationists in a “scale”-tipping triumph.

Staffers from the Hudson River Estuary Program snagged the 6-foot fish last week with a net near Hyde Park, about 85 miles north of New York City.



The anglers scanned the critically endangered fish for tags before tossing it back into the water, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation said in a Facebook post.

Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022. There was no doubt in his mind what it was: a tom lynx, judging by its blocky head.
