Small Mouth Buffalo

I love catching small mouth buffalo. Many people mistakenly call them "buffalo carp". They are not.

Without getting all scientific,  they don't have barbells. And small mouth buffalo are commercially raised and sold for fish meal used in animal feed.

The largest specimen caught in the United States weighed 82 pounds. I only wish they grew to that size in Michigan.

This one weighed 16 pounds from Lake Erie
