SHAWANO, Wis. - The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has tagged a 125-year-old sturgeon that's bigger than a linebacker.

Officials found the over 7-foot-3-inch long, 240-pound female on the Wolf River near Shawano on Tuesday.

DNR sturgeon biologist Ron Bruch says she's the largest they've tagged on the Lake Winnebago system since they started the tagging program in 1950s. She would have weighed about 30 pounds more, but she already laid some eggs.

Just think this thing was 25 years old when the titanic sunk!

Wow! Those fish are amazing. It's hard to think that there are some sturgeon out there that were hatched around the time of the Civil War. Thanks for sharing.
