Alaska's largest lake trout and steelhead

A story about Alaskas's largest lake trout and steelhead landed by a couple of young anglers.

The memory of the monster of Clarence Lake remains as vivid for Daniel Thorsness today as the stillness of the clear, foggy morning 32 years ago when he hauled ashore a lake trout as big as a king salmon.

Biologists who study lake trout in the state say they've never even encountered a fish close to the size of the 47-pound monster that Thorsness pulled out of a relatively small, wilderness lake nearly 3,000-feet high in the Talkeetna Mountains.
