Twelve-year-old Glasgow native Josiah Hernandez reeled in an impressive catch this past Saturday while fishing from a dock in the Fort Peck Dredge Cuts. Cast out with a classic Five of Diamonds lure, Josiah managed to hook a northern pike, which provided an extra surprise when a 14-inch carp was discovered inside the larger fish’s stomach (see photo below). It was an unforgettable day on the water and a truly remarkable catch—congratulations, Josiah!
