Hogchocker-from the Hudson River.
We had done a trawl survey that was focused on Tomcod and we would often get this flatfish. Interesting story about them. Oh and they get stuck in buckets and on tables and it make them a pain in the ass to grab.

yes that's a sturgeon in the 2nd photo-released quickly.
3rd photo is a 40ft pole we caught at the corner of Bear Mountain right before a massive thunderstorm and a barge were coming our way...
