BilletHead Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 MISSOURI ANGLER CATCHES STATE-RECORD FISH IN STOCKTON LAKE Date: October 18, 2024, 2:33 pm A Missouri angler accidentally caught a Missouri-state-record fish out of an area lake Sunday, October 13th. According to a news release from the Missouri Department of Conservation, Ryan Young of Buffalo caught a 55-pound, nine ounce black buffalo out of Stockton Lake with a rod-and-reel. With the catch, Young broke the previous record of 53 pounds, which was held since 1989. Young was going for crappie in Stockton Lake with a group who had nicknamed him "The Trashman," as he was catching everything besides crappie. Once Young hooked into the black buffalo, it took around thirty minutes and three men to get the fish into the boat. Black buffalo are considered sucker fish, similar to carp, who live on the bottom of bodies of water. It is the fifth state-record fish recorded in 2024. Copyright 2024 Harbit Communications Inc.

I think they turned it loose in one of the tanks at Bass pro. Not kidding either. BilletHead, Terrierman and Daryk Campbell Sr 2 1 -Austin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the looks of the picture background it looks like it may have been hauled in a dry cooler. No wet spot there. How long ya reckon one can survive out of the water ? I know that a sturgeon can swim off, like nothing is wrong, after laying dry in the bed of a truck for more than an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillback Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Kept a sturgeon form the Columbia river. Got home late that night, put the sturgeon in a big cooler with ice with plans to clean it the next day. it was still alive the next day. Not barely alive either. Last one I ever kept; they aren't that good as far as eating. Johnsfolly and kjackson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
