While under the instruction of his father and a guide from Jones Sport Fishing of Deary, Idaho, 12-year-old Tyler Grimshaw cemented himself into state record books after hooking and successfully reeling in a 9-foot, 11-inch sturgeon. State fishermen are calling the accomplishment a once-in-a-lifetime catch.
Grimshaw initially caught the massive fish several days ago, but it has taken additional time for Idaho officials to investigate and validate that the haul had indeed equaled the state record. The fish was measured multiple times and confirmed to have tied the Gem State mark. The three were out fishing on the Snake River when Tyler hooked the whopper of a fish.
