An Arkansas sportsman out fishing for stripers had a day’s work when he hooked a 127-pound paddlefish.

Arkansas Game and Fish Commission officials said Garfield resident Mike Schleeper hooked the 127-pound, 6-ounce behemoth in Beaver Lake in Rogers on Saturday.
 

AGFC officials reported Schleeper said he was fishing for stripers with his friend Tom Mayberry when he hooked the fish. He said he knew right away this was something different as whatever he had on the line took them for a tour of the lake as part of a 45-minute challenge to reel in the big fish.
