DISCLAIMER: It ain't about sunfish. Sue me  An angler broke the CO record for brook trout recently. This record stood for over 70 years! He caught it in one of my favorite lakes. 7.8 pounds is a monster for a brook trout, pretty much the equivalent of a 4 pound bluegill. This is quite remarkable, truly the fish of several lifetimes https://www.foxnews.com/great-outdoors/colorado-fisherman-breaks-brook-trout-recordFor comparison this is a 7.5 brown from the same lake: ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/xIvDjpg.jpg) And this is a 4 pound brook trout taken by my brother: ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/oZ1ctVI.jpg)

BIG fish ! He used a "hook" to catch it ??? As in snagged it ? No. If it was snagged then he couldn't claim it as a record and the game warden checked the fish and certified it as the new record. My bet is he either doesn't want to tell what lure he caught it on or he caught it on bait which is legal in that lake.

Also congratulations to your brother on his super fish. Yeah that brookie my brother caught was bigger than any I ever got. My biggest brookie was 19 inches and about 3 lbs give or take. I turned the fish loose so I never got an actual weight. The brown in that photo was mine. Caught it on an ultra-lite rod, a 00 MEPPS spinner and 2 lb line. That fight took a lot of time to win.

Nice fish.  Side Note: Can't wait for cooler temperatures and this upcoming trout stocking season.
