An angler from Utica
is the new holder of the state record for brook trout, the New York
State Department of Environmental Conservation announced Wednesday.
Tom Yacovella reeled
in the record-breaking fish on June 7, while fishing Raquette Lake
in Hamilton County.
The brook trout
weighed in at 5 pounds, 4 ½ ounces and measured 21 inches,
surpassing the previous state record set in 2006 by 5 ounces.
