A 20-year-old is Colorado's newest fishing state record holder after landing a 43-pound, 6-ounce channel catfish estimated to be about the same age as the angler who caught it.
Jessica Walton of Aurora, Colo., landed the lunker whiskerfish at Aurora Reservoir on Oct. 4. The scale-tipping fish is the largest channel catfish caught in Colorado and the third state record taken from the reservoir in 15 months.
