In May, an unofficial state record Tiger Trout was caught by Eric McBride at the Ruby NWR Collection Ditch. Weighing in at 20 pounds 4 ounces, leaving the previous record behind by over 4 pounds! With no official scale or witnessing NDOW representative, we couldn’t give it the official title, but it’s still an amazing catch!
