Below are some pictures courtesy of Mass Wildlife.
Which I was told were thought to be some of the MA State Record Fish.
In the future I would like to hunt down and acquire some more of them, as well as post other state records. So check back
soon.

NEW MA RECORD BROOK TROUT 10 lBS |
Recently, MassWildlife fisheries biologists certified a new state record for a brook trout caught on April 19. Peter Harand
of Easthampton caught a 10 pound eastern brook trout from Ashfield Lake in Ashfield. Deciding to forego yard work for an hour,
Harand was fishing with spinning tackle and a spoon when he caught the huge fish. He first brought the big brookie to Daves
Pioneer Sporting Center in Northampton for weighing and entering his catch in the Freshwater Sportfishing Awards Program.
He then brought the fish to MassWildlife's Field Headquarters to have it weighed and certified by fisheries biologists. Harand's
catch breaks the record set in 1968 by Thomas Laptew of a trout weighing 6 pounds, 4 ounces caught in the Otis Reservoir in
Otis.

of 6 pounds 4 ounces, caught out of Forest Lake.
