When Chance Scott went fishing on Flaming Gorge, I am sure he had no idea that he would reel in a monster fish that would break the Utah state record by almost three pounds.
According to Utah DWR, Chance Scott caught a  53-pound, 15-ounce lake trout at Flaming Gorge. Which shattered the old record of 51 pounds caught back in 1988.
RECORD FISH ALERT: Chance Scott caught and kept this 53-pound, 15-ounce lake trout at Flaming Gorge recently! Girth: 34.7 inches. Length: 44.1 inches. This displaces the 51-pound record from 1988. Nice catch, Chance! #Utahâs fish records page: https://t.co/BbHMfKdTohpic.twitter.com/o2379q3aJ8
