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.

An iconic tropical tree known to grow mostly in Central and South Florida’s coastal waters is apparently creeping north. A University of North Florida biology professor found the mangrove in coastal southeast Georgia. The reason the mangrove is showing up at Cumberland Island is a lack of winter freezes that normally cull its growth and limit it to the Amelia Island area, Assistant Professor Scott Jones said.

An out-of-state conservative group is taking its war against Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to her home turf by buying up some billboard ads in Queens blasting her left wing policies.

The Texas-based Job Creators Network is dumping $100,000 into the primary race to support former Wall Street investor Marty Dolan, the Post reported earlier this week.

After splashing AOC’s face over billboards in Times Square earlier this week, they have now targeted locations right in her district, almost.

She removed a portion of the charges that referenced an uncharged allegation, but upheld the other charges.

This far out address is looking for a new owner.

In Millbrook, New York, a sprawling retreat once home to Harvard professor-turned-psychedelic superfan Timothy Leary has hit the market for $65 million — a potential record-breaker for the rapidly gentrifying Hudson Valley.

The approximately 2,000-acre spread, known as the Hitchcock Estate, dates back to the 1800s and enjoyed considerable cultural significance in the 1960s, when Leary — originator of the famous phrase, “turn on, tune in, drop out” — and a gaggle of like-minded LSD-lovers began occupying the place, the Wall Street Journal first reported.
