A young angler in Idaho, just 12 years old, recently reeled in a ginormous sturgeon from Snake River — his monstrous fish nearly broke the state record.

Tyler Grimshaw from Vernal, Utah, was with his father, Lance, on a guided fishing tour near Mountain Home in southern Idaho when he made the monumental catch. Fishing guide Joe Weisner, 36, had spent the earlier part of the day with a group of sturgeon clients and met the boy and his dad, close friends of his, later that evening in late March.
