Biggest Trout Ever Caught In Colorado: State Record Sized Trout
These trout aren't just any trout, they are state record size trout. From brookies to cutties to rainbows and more, these are Colorado's biggest trout.
I can't imagine catching a fish that's over 40 inches long, I'd be happy to catch a fish that's half that size. These are the biggest trout ever caught in Colorado, based on their length.
