Jason Fugate was out bow-fishing with his friend, Jamie Brichacek, in the Brainerd Lakes Area, Minn., in April when he hooked a giant, bright orange fish. Now, months later, scientific testing has confirmed that the fish is a very rare – very bright – bigmouth buffalo fish. As I got up closer it swam and came up a little bit and just had that big glow like it was just a big buffalo fish," Fugate said to Fox News. And that's why it was just so vivid orange like this,” he said to KSTPTV. Lackmann, who has discovered bigmouth buffalo fish up to 110 years of age throughout his career, said this rare fish appears to be one of the oldest ones he has ever seen.
