State Record Brookie

[Highmth]

Don't blame the fisherman who caught it for the controversy. Blame the DWR guys for pulling a quick trigger on the story. This fish was one step away from being a state record. In a way I'm glad they got it right. If they let it go, I can't imagine someone having to explain that the fish was not a state record a year or 2 down the road.
BTW I have caught 100's of tiger trout and 1000's of brookies on the Boulder. This fish had me fooled.
