Thanks, guys.

The stick and ribbon is plastic gardening tape, marked at 46' and is
66" long. I lay it beside the sturgeon when they finally come to the
boat to see if they're in our slot limit of 46" to 66". It makes me a
better guesser of their length so we stay legal when we decide to keep
one. When we do, we have to tag them just like tagging deer.

Sturgeon? Holy ****! That's something we don't see a lot of (or any of)
near or in LI Sound. Are they good eating?

Along the Connecticut shore, we have some nice sized stripers, porgies,
snapper blues and big blues, sand sharks. conors (all bones, nothing to
eat), et cetera. If you go up the Connecticut River a ways, there are
pike.

No sturgeons. :)

I'd never seen a picture of one until reading Dale's blog. They look like
swimming dinosaurs to me:-}
