NO WAY!, a 7ft long 300lb stugeon said to be at least 50 years old, was found floating in Black Lake a couple days ago.
Do Black Lake fisherman have something else to fish for know?
Could there be more?
Here is the news video and article.

Dang that's huge. I think it's funny that it was "disposed of in an undisclosed location"

You never know where those big beasts will show up! A few weeks back a 4-6 foot sturgeon caught in rotary lake in Yakima. For those of you unfamilier with rotary lake, it is a very small lake -- A lake where you would never guess a sturgeon would be lurking (maybe 20 acres). Here is the article that was in the news paper. It's pretty interesting and exciting, so it is worth the read.

As the paper points out, this is kind of a freak occurance, and the fish was most likely dumped there years ago. It just goes to show, you never know where these things will be.

Yep bro, I would not have believed it if I had not read it in the Yakima Herald Republic. All I can say is "dang."
