During the 40 years Don Walker has fished at Blue Mesa Reservoir he’s caught plenty of big lake trout. But none measured up to the one he caught May 23.
Walker, 61, now holds the record for the biggest lake trout caught in Colorado: The fish weighed 50 pounds, 5 ounces, measured 44 1/4 inches long with a girth of 34 3/8 inches. The record lake trout, also known as a Mackinaw, weighed nearly 4 pounds more than the previous record lake trout caught in 2003 that weighed 46 pounds 14 ounces and measured 42 1/2 inches long.
