(Bismarck, ND) -- A Bismarck angler has brought in a record sized buffalo fish.

Mitch Estabrook was bow fishing at Heart Butte Reservoir on May 16th and caught a buffalo fish that officially weight 60 pounds, eight ounces. The fish beat the state record for a buffalo taken with a bow or spear.

It is the biggest weighed in North Dakota that was not a paddlefish or a pallid sturgeon.
