Idaho man catches 28 pound trout. Gives up state record by releasing it.

Wow, that thing is fat! Truly a fish of a lifetime!

I really respect that guy for releasing it. It must be tempting to get that state record, and it would be easy to just kill it and bring it in. But he made the best decision, that fish will still be out there, and the angler has the experience of landing a state record. Good for him!

Thanks for sharing

He had to let it go.

Oh, didn't know that. Well, it's still nice to see it back in there, even if it was because of the laws and not his choice

Saw this on Facebook. Such a beast! Doesn't even look like a trout.
