I do not know if this was necessarily discussed on this forum but I thought it as appropriate as the Freshwater fishing forum. Some of you guys know I work for a local fishing/hunting shop. The opening day of trout season is the shop's busiest time of the year. We had 27 trophy trout come in over the weekend....25 the first day. The largest of these fish was a potential new PA record Palomino trout.
The fish was caught by Arthur Holmes of Whitehall and was a whopping 12 pounds 8 ounces. The current PA record is 11 pounds 10 ounces. I will include a picture of it along with pics of the 2nd and 3rd largest fish...as well as a complete list of all 27 fish and the folks that caught them. I thought you guys might enjoy it.
