GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - A Grand Rapids man has apparently confessed to catching and keeping a protected sturgeon which he caught near the 6th Street Dam on May 17 despite cries of protest from onlookers.

Some of them snapped his picture with the big fish and the DNR went to the media with the story in an effort to catch him.

The DNR said the man turned himself in after seeing media reports.

Poaching a lake sturgeon could bring up to 180 days in jail along with thousands in fines and costs. The DNR may also charge the 30-year-old man's father. The elder man helped him load and drive the fish away.

The fish are rare and protected except in a few Michigan locations. They can live to be 100-years-old, but are slow to reproduce, making the loss of just one fish fairly significant, according to the DNR.

The man claims he eventually threw the dead sturgeon back in the river, according to the DNR, who won't identify the man until he is arraigned on the poaching charge July 9.

thanks everyone yeah its a blast fishing from it u can sneak right up on them and now with the fish finder its just like fishing from a boat but getting a workout as well

well after i got the fish finder installed i went out to see how well it would work... and you deside

you will notice there is 40 gills in the pics... after seeing this we could not stand for not having a solid 2 man limt so we went back out ( which was a bad choice) got out 10 more but broke my 7' brand new UL so no pics wasn;t in the greatest mood

can someone explain some how to for drifting walleyes?

ok guys here we go this is what my boat looked like before but blue

now here are the pics of what i did feel free to ask any questions
