A new LCI record was set with an incredible 11.42 pound, 30" Landlocked Atlantic Salmon. The winning fish was caught by Effie Mayhew of Wilmington, Vermont shortly after 10:30 a.m. Monday, the last day of the LCI Fishing Derby. The fish was weighed and released alive back into the lake.
Willsboro's Chet Halen was leading the salmon category all weekend with a 9.10 pound salmon until the new record fish was caught
The top Lake Trout weighed in was 13.17 pounds and 33" long. With the accelerated growth rate of many fish species due to the introduction of non-native alewives many speculated a much larger lake trout would take the top prize.
Other first place fish by species:
Smallmouth Bass 4.87 lbs.
Walleye 8.59 lbs.
Northern Pike 14.49 lbs.
Largemouth Bass 6.56 lbs.
Carp 23.19 lbs.
