There are fish…. and there are REALLY BIG FISH!
The Idaho Department of Fish and Game congratulated Sawyer Livesey after he set the new Idaho catch-and-release record for bull trout.
Livesey caught this whopping 30.5-inch bull trout while fishing the Kootenai River near Bonner’s Ferry, which beat the previous record by just 1.5 inches.
Idaho’s catch-and-release state record program is meant to recognize anglers for their outstanding catches without having to harvest the fish.
