I found this guy in late May of 2011 in SoCo, RI. Measured about 4 feet long or so.

I've heard that commercial fishermen occasionally catch sturgeon in the RI fish traps and presumably release tham unharmed. Who knows?

Walking the "strand" on a beach that maybe isn't that heavily traversed has been a practice of mine since I was a kid. Never found anything of great value, lots of sea glass, and skate egg cases, driftwood, coal, (mostly) broken lures and pieces of rope, chunks of buoys that got hacked up by a propeller. Good stuff.
That Letterboxing is very interesting and finally explains what my wife and I found about 15 years ago walking the trail by the Museum of Natural History in Brewster where we discovered one.
