Shelby Holder used a 1-weight fly rod to fight the massive tiger trout for 30 minutes in a narrow stretch of the Hams Fork River.
Holder took his big tiger trout into a nearby town and called a friend. They then took the fish to a grocery store to have it measured and weighed on certified scales. An official from the Green River headquarters of the Wyoming Game and Fish Department arrived to witness the fish being weighed and measured. Holder’s tiger trout had a 31.2-inch length, 19-inch girth, and weighed 14 pounds, 15.2 ounces. It was certified, and has become the new state record.
