Possible world record Lake Trout.

[Hangfire]

Caught in Colo. on May 5th.......73.29 pounds.

I'm sure this one was either released or mounted but I caught and tried eating a LT back in the 90's while fishing on Great Slave Lake in the NWT.....very oily flesh and I didn't care for the taste at all.

Potential World-Record Lake Trout Caught in Colorado - First Look!

Scott Enloe caught what might be the new all-tackle world-record lake trout on May 5 in Colorado. It weighed more than 73 pounds!

When you go trout fishing that is not what you expect to pull in.

Are you sure that’s not one of the tournament guys that stuffed their fish with lead weights?

I saw a video on this. The guy weighed/measured then released it. He’s not sure if he will officially get the world record title, because he didn’t want to keep/kill the fish.

Has to be from Blue Mesa reservoir. Wouldn't think many lakes in CO could support those size lakers.

What a pig!

Looks more like a tumor.

Trout is fun to catch but on the bottom of my list to eat.
