by TBC Press on 02/19/16
This monster of a fish was caught by Barry Larson, a native of Duluth, while on a trip to Atikokan, Ontario. According to the Duluth News Tribune, Larson hooked the near-record lake trout while ice fishing with friends on Clearwater West Lake late last month.
It was such an awesome and strong fish. It was kind of a thrill, Larson told the Tribune. We could see it circling through the ice. It looked like a monster. It was as big as a monster too. Larson and his friends weighed the massive fish at 38 pounds on a certified scale. It measured 45.5 inches long and 28 inches in girth. By all accounts, it was the largest lake trout that any of the anglers had ever seen. READ MORE
