Gunnison man reels in pending world record-breaking trout

A father-son duo in Gunnison got the surprise of a lifetime when they reeled in the pending world record for the largest lake trout ever caught.

They are estimating the fish to be 60 years old - possibly from when the lake was first created. Again, well done!!

“I released the fish alive, and as bad as it sounds they frown upon that, they want to kill the fish. But this fish was estimated to be a 60-year-old fish, possibly an original fish when they impounded Blue Mesa Reservoir,” said Enloe.

So, not only did Enloe break a world record, he caught a fish that possibly dates back to 1966 when the largest lake in Colorado first damned up.

Enloe said he never considered killing the fish and doesn’t mind if he doesn’t make it into the record books.

The ones caught out of the gorge are much less firm. The guy’s fingers on his left hand would be leaving visible “dents“ in the fish. This one just looks way too “firm“.
