Ron Taylor and his son Levi caught a massive buffalo fish in Sevier Lake in Shelby Park Tuesday.

It came as a surprise since Sevier Lake is landlocked and most of the fish found in it, according to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, are smaller bream, bluegill, redear sunfish, green sunfish along with a few bass and catfish.

The Taylor's fish weighed a whopping 50 pounds.

Levi, 8, hooked the fish and as Ron was reeling it in the fish broke the line forcing Ron to pull it in by hand
