New state record buffalo caught

Keith Huschka’s catch on June 19 is the first entry on North Dakota’s list of state record fish in 2011. The Dickinson angler caught a 54-pound buffalo from the Heart River in the tail waters of Heart Butte Dam.

The 42-inch fish broke the old record of 51 pounds, 4 ounces taken by Joshua Bartz of Bismarck from the Missouri River in 2009.
