DOUGLAS LAKE 15-Year-Old Benton Resident Sets New State Record for Rainbow Trout CROSSVILLE, Tenn. --- The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency has confirmed a new state record rainbow trout, caught by 15-year-old Benton resident John Morgan in Polk County on Friday, June 17. The fish weighed 18 pounds, 8 ounces. The fish measured 32 inches long and 22 and one-fourth inches in girth. The catch surpasses the previous record for a rainbow trout in Tennessee of 16 pounds, 15 ounces set in 2002 by Ronnie Rowland at Ft. Patrick Henry Reservoir. Morgan caught the record fish in a farm pond owned by a friend of his grandfather. He had agreed to help remove a snapping turtle from the pond and was invited to bring a fishing pole along. Morgan didn t know that this favor would lead to a new state record. After 45 minutes, Morgan had fished a little, caught the turtle and decided to fish for another 10 minutes before leaving. He cast again and after a 20 minute struggle, he had the fish on shore. 1114 Douglas Dam Rd, Dandridge, TN 37725 Fishing Supplies - Live Bait - Licenses - Groceries - Deli - Take Out Open 7 Days 6am - 10pm Call In Orders Welcome!

We re very excited for this young man to find himself in the record book, said TWRA Region III fisheries program manager Mark Thurman. With so many records being broken these days, we look forward to seeing what the next state record fish is.
