RE"would this have been a record brookie 20 years ago without all the internet questions and available resources?"
Back when the original brookie record was set, the DWR and other agencies weren't planting "frankenfish" like tiger trout and splake in our lakes. (that complicates ID sometimes) So it is a good bet that the current Utah record is a valid one.
However, you do make a valid point on some other records that are in the books. It would be fun to check them.
