Did a 'Sea Monster' Wash Up on a South Carolina Coast?

Why is there only ONE photo available of this "sturgeon"? Where is the head of the sturgeon -- that's distinctive in identification? That said, here is a link to an old photo that looks pretty similar -- short head, etc.

It says above the photo, "They do get bigger than this."

Really crummy picture...likely intentional to stir up the woo-woo crowd.

It doesn't look much like a freshwater sturgeon, but Atlantic sturgeon seems plausible.
