An Arkansas fisherman brought ashore a large, 165-pound fish from Beaver Lake — but not with his rod and reel.

The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission (AGFC) shared news of the catch on its Facebook page describing the fisherman's heroic efforts to save the fish.

The AGFC's Facebook read that the "paddlefish was hit by a boat prop and had its soft spinal cord severed."

The fisherman, Bo Johnson, notified the AGFC of his discovery and revealed how he found "a large paddlefish that was hit by a boat on Beaver Lake," Jon Stein, district fisheries supervisor at the AGFC, told Fox News Digital.
