Dec. 29 (UPI) -- Wildlife officials in Utah said a 11-year-old boy landed a massive 48-pound trout just six months after reeling in a 41-pound trout.
The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources said Tyler Grimshaw drew attention online in June when the then-10-year-old reeled in a 41-pound trout without any assistance at Flaming Gorge.
Grimshaw, now 11, bested his own catch this month by reeling in a 48-pound trout in the same area.
Both fish were released back into the lake.
"Way to go, Tyler," the division tweeted.
The Utah state record for lake trout stands at 53 pounds, 15 ounces. The record was set by Chance Scott at the Flaming Gorge Reservoir, the same place Grimshaw caught both of his fish.
I have bigger fish to fry.
Seriously though- wow- two catches of a lifetime- hope he gets more- cool deal!
Think we’re gonna need a bigger Bass-o-matic...
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish and well, you know the end.
You shoulda seen the one that got away!
I’m wondering what’s in that lake............................
Kid needs his own fishing show/merchandising.
Teach a man to fish and you’ll never see him again?
When do they stop being trout and start being salmon?
Butter and onions, HO!!
You could eat that fish for a week or more!..................
Olive oil, Extra Virgin!...............
I once caught a fish..thiiiiiissssssssssss big!
As a kid growing up in Reno, we used to take school field trips to the pyramid lake fish hatchery. As part of the effort to restore the native lahontan cutthroat trout, the Department of Fish and Game, have an advanced fish hatchery breeding cut throat trout at pyramid lake. In the museum tour...they told us native cut throat trout had grown as long as six feet.
In high school I used to drive out to Pyramid and try to catch me a six footer....LOL.
I caught lots of 18 inches, but you have to release those.
At that time you could only keep 22+ inches.
Good times, good memories!
I think the biggest brown trout caught in the Green River was by a guy named John Brown. The picture hangs on the wall at the local airfield.
Big carp. Huge carp
First thought that came to mind...what's upstream?
Second thought, the 11 year old boy needs to have Japanese fish broker on speed dial.
Growth Hormone of some kind maybe? Something seems to be i nthe waters-
bttt

And inside the trout was a diamond-shaped pear the size of an emerald.
