Pulled a 32 x 30 inch buff out of Ray Hubbard on my trip to Dallas last February. Weighed 26 lbs. Next biggest was 30 x 30 and weighed 24 lbs. Pic in my signature if the site still allows images from non secure hosted web sites.
PB common = 38.5 lbs PB mirror = 22.5 lbs PB buff = 26 lbs Miss February 2020:

A 32-inch buffalo is definitely a trophy. The lake record for Grapevine is 36 inches and just over 30 pounds, so there are 32 inch fish in Grapevine. Catching one is just a matter of running through the numbers. I have caught several buffs over 32 inches but they are few and far between. Buffs are one of my favorite fish to catch and I put this picture of the state catch and release black buffalo (36.25 inches and 26.60 pounds) on the back of my book, “The Art of Fishing for Records.†![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2021/01/full-107020-79770-5d9e8c73_da30_40b5_83a4_84184b6d804d.jpeg) If you are interested in a fish that size, I would recommend chumming with range cubes, then using range cubes as bait. Here is a video of how I rig them. https://youtu.be/4HJNrljkWGI If you are looking for tips on how to catch record and trophy fish, I recommend getting a copy of my book. There are lots of secrets in there on how to accomplish your goals. Awesome fish!

Amazing how different the carp bite vs the buffs. I lost a big buffalo, would have got my record... But he popped off as soon as I got eyes on him. Awesome fish.

I have to get back out there after them now that all this cold weather might have passed.
Friday's are the only days I am able to fish and every Friday for the last 5 or 6 weeks has been really poor weather.
Love seeing these big buff pics!
Please!! I am Bi Gender dammit! I can do it with you, or your girlfriend, I dont give a shizzle!
