MONSTER TIGER TROUT: Local angler lands record-shattering fish at Montpelier Reservoir

By Idaho Fish and Game News Release,

1 day ago

Congratulations to Austin Christensen of Montpelier, Idaho, on setting the latest Idaho state record fish for certified weight.

He was fishing Montpelier Reservoir on June 1 when he hooked and landed a large tiger trout. At 27.25 inches long, Austin thought he just might have a chance at a record fish.

The fish weighed 9.13 pounds on a certified scale, beating the previous record by over 3/4 pound.

The previous state record tiger trout of 8.3 pounds set by Tyson Lutz — another Montpelier angler — had only been caught weeks before on May 17 from the same lake.

Tiger trout are a hybrid cross between brook trout and brown trout. They were introduced to Montpelier Reservoir in 2016 and can be found in a few select places across Idaho.
