Hooter Girl Crushes World Smallmouth Record on First Cast in Lake Michigan!!!

It was a sunny, calm day on the Big Lake we call Michigan when little Annie Smooter, a well-known Novi Hooter girl, made a fateful first cast into the icy depths. Annie hooked into a big fish by most people's standards although it didn't impress Ms. Smooter much. She eventually landed and immediately released a 25 pound smallmouth buffalo.

Is there a buffalo population in Michigan?  Anyone ever catch one?

Scientific name: Ictiobus - Greek bubalus - Greek

Size: Smallest of the buffalofish, but can grow up to 15 pounds. It is usually considered superior in flavor to the other species.

We do have them on the Michigan record book - native 'carp.' I believe they've all come from the Lake Michigan basin and connected waters.
