Jaxon Krall, a soft-spoken 13-year-old from Kemmerer, just made a big splash in the fishing world by landing a record-breaking 12.77-pound tiger trout at Viva Naughton Reservoir in Wyoming, according to a press release. With a simple “Geeze,” Jaxon knew he’d hooked something huge, shattering the previous state record. Armed with a trusty Thomas Buoyant lure, this young angler’s catch measured an impressive 31.25 inches long with a girth of 16.75 inches.
Eager for more, Jaxon plans to return to the reservoir, confident there are even bigger fish waiting for him. Meanwhile, experts confirm that the tiger trout are thriving, thanks to a steady diet of Utah chubs. If you’re ready to chase your own trophy fish, take a page from Jaxon’s book—hit the shore, aim for shallow waters, and mimic those forage fish.
The next record could be yours!
