In June, when he was just a young boy of 10, Grimshaw caught 41 pound lake trout at Flaming Gorge Reservoir.

But the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources says Grimshaw, now 11, outdid himself this weekend by catching a 48-pounder in the same location.

Grimshaw caught and released both fish, but it might be time his parents bought a bigger boat.
