A 27-pound Buffalo fish was caught by Glen Rife, Warsaw, in Winona Lake a few days ago. It measured 38 inches in length, and had scales almost the size of a silver dollar. Rife hit it over the head with an oar then lifted it by hand into his boat. It attracted much attention when displayed at the Daniels market here. A fish epicurean took it home to bake and feed a group of friends.
