Daniel Whitesitt of Post Falls recently landed a new catch-and-release state record for westslope cutthroat trout.
Whitesitt hooked the lunker trout while fishing the Clark Fork River on April 13. After landing the fish, Whitesitt recorded the required measurements and photos to document the fish's impressive length before releasing the trout to fight another day.
At 25 inches long, Whitesitt's fish eclipsed the previous record of 24 inches set by Madison Nackos in 2021 from Priest Lake.
