Scientists were in for a shock when they encountered a "real life river monster" -- a giant fish believed to be more than 100 years old.
Staff from the Alpena Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office caught the fish -- a female lake sturgeon measuring 6' 10" and weighing a whopping 240 pounds -- in the Detroit River in April.
