The Hudson River Estuary Program fisheries staff reeled in a giant fish out of the Hudson River in New York last week.

The Atlantic sturgeon spreads six feet in length, weighing around 220 pounds, according to a Facebook post from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC).

It was caught near Hyde Park, about 80 miles from New York City.
Before releasing the great fish, the staff measured it, tagged the fish, took a piece of fin for genetic analysis and weighed it before releasing it back into the wild.
