Fishy Fiasco: Iowa Sportsmen’s Preserve Plan Leaves a Sour Taste

In the icy waters of McGregor, Iowa, a tale of two fishermen’s remarkable catches has left locals reeling. In 1911, Adolph Larson and Fred Worth made headlines by hauling in an astonishing 55,000 pounds of buffalo fish, netting them a tidy $2,000. Their luck continued to roll in on February 20, 1913, when they reeled in a staggering 77,000 pounds of buffalo, selling it for a cool $6,200.
