Oops, there goes my state record

[Tuna-Hooker]

So last fall, wiperjunkie and I were fishing at Schofield and I managed to catch a very nice tiger trout. The fish was 25 1/2" and 5 1/2 pounds. We took a few pictures and released the fish. Well, earlier this week I got a call from wiperjunkie who said he had just been looking at the catch and release records.....................the current cr record for tiger trout is 25". Oh well here is a pic of my almost state record [pirate]

As long as you know it went down it's all good man. Now catch him again.

Sorry about the bad news. At least you have the picture to back up your story. I guess you will just have to get after him again this year.

I've seen 2 this week that people have done the same thing here in Utah- one certainly would have probably been a world record.

I just checked the DWR website and the current C&R record is 25".............I would have beaten that by 1/2"[]

I don't think it will stand too long, those tigers grow way too fast, and with the new regs at Schofield they will have a chance to get a little bigger.
