What a catch! How does this compare to your biggest catch in Alaska?
, Lake City resident Matt Smiley caught an 8-pound, 9-ounce brook trout on Oct. 8. The fish measured 26.25 inches in length and had a girth of 16 inches.
“The experience of this catch has been surreal. It took a few days to soak in. It’s a special fish,” Smiley said. Wildlife officials said Smiley sells tackle for a fishing company and has chased large brook trout in lakes across Colorado for a decade. Smiley said he battled the massive fish and waded into the water to get it in his net that afternoon.Wildlife officials said before this year, the record stood for 75 years. In 1947, a 7.63-pound brook trout was caught out of Upper Cataract Lake in Summit County.
