MONSTER FISH IS CAUGHT

WEIGHING 75 POUNDS CAPTURED IN LAKEbr>
George Davis, of Culver, has the credit of capturing the largest fish ever seen in Lake Maxinkuckee — a 75 pound buffalo. This king of the waters was dead and floating when he discovered it, and how or where it met its fate is a mystery.

Mr. Davis, who was accompanied by J. O. Finch, found it near the outlet.

It may have beena victim of some dynamiter, or it may have died a natural death from old age. Whatever the cause i t was an enormous specimen measuring 4 feet in length and 35 inches in circumference.

Mr. Davis has stuffed the skin,and for a long time it will doubtless be looked upon as a. curiosity. - 31 Aug 1906 Logansport Daily Pharos
