The state record for black buffalo goes to Sage Colegrove of Muskegon.

The fish, weighing 44.54 pounds and measuring 38.50 inches, was caught on the Grand River in Ottawa County at 1 a.m. Sunday, April 12, when Colegrove and a friend were bowfishing.

The previous state-record black buffalo was caught by Joshua Teunis on Bear Lake June 15, 2014. That fish weighed 41.25 pounds and measured 38.25 inches.

State records are recognized by weight only. To qualify for a state record, fish must exceed the current listed state record weight and identification must be verified by a DNR fisheries biologist.
