## Caption

Joe Dahl is what you might call a rough fish enthusiast.⁠
⁠
Born and raised in Minnesota, Dahl’s been fishing all his life, but in recent years, he’s branched out from walleyes and bass to target more non-traditional species like bowfin, alligator gar, and bigmouth buffalo, a native sucker fish that looks like a carp and pulls like an ox. In late April, the Minneapolis-based angler broke the state catch-and-release record with a 32.5-inch bigmouth buffalo he caught from a bridge over the Cannon River. Dahl’s record buffalo was certified by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources on May 26.⁠
