A man fishing on Austin’s Lady Bird Lake caught a 64-pound smallmouth buffalo, reeling a record in along with it.
“Me and my buddy went to the lake, we were targeting carp and I ended up catching that record buffalo,” Cassady Douglas said. |

Smallmouth buffalo, also known by the scientific name Ictiobus Bubalus, are typically found in Texas in large streams or rivers exclusive of the Panhandle, according to Texas Parks and Wildlife. They can be confused with carp but don’t have the barbels (the things that look like whiskers). |
