I just saw this in the news

MassWildlife fisheries biologists have certified a new state record for a brook trout caught on April 19.
Peter Harand of Easthampton caught a 10-pound eastern brook trout from Ashfield Lake in Ashfield. Deciding to forego yard work for an hour, Harand was fishing with spinning tackle and a spoon when he caught the trophy.
Harand’s catch breaks the record set in 1968 by Thomas Laptew of a trout weighing 6 pounds, 4 ounces caught in the Otis Reservoir in Otis.
Brookies, which are stocked in many cold-water pounds across the state, usually run about one pound.
