Two out of the three were alive and kicking. The third one was caught in a net near Black Point. I was unable to free it and when I returned with a knife it had died...sad ending for such a special creature.

You dive without a knife handy? Glad to see you tried/thought about releasing such a magnificent fish.

 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

ive seen several in the merrimack, they are usually either at the mouth or right in the channel by bridge marina. You know it when you see one, they jump straight out of the water and usually go back in the same way. Most i've seen are in the 3-4' range. cool to see. One particular day at the mouth in a 1-2 hour span i saw 4-5 jump at the mouth, i'm sure many others saw it too, there was a ton of boats that day.

The Charles has certainly cleaned up, I may be dating myself but I grew up in Brighton and spent many a summer day on the banks of the Charles, exploring and seeing all kinds of offal from the Brighton abbatoir in the river... Lots of herring, the ubiquitous 'Goldies" (big goldfish released from homes) and giant dining room table sized snapping turtles. In the evening you could catch dozens of big horn pout and In the upper reaches, saw a fellow catch an 18 inch white perch one day. Sometime in the 60s they held the National Hydroplane races from Magazine Beach on the Cambridge side of the BU Bridge and we saw a fellow from out-of-state brushing his teeth using the river water, I never forgot that gruesome sight...

I thought I saw one off the ocean side beaches in Wellfleet about 10 years ago. Was on top in about 8 feet of water. Got a pretty good look but I didn't think they would be on the ocean side like that.

Found this one at Quonny last May. Between 4 and 5 feet long.
