Kid Claims New State Record Cutthroat

[rsimms]

10-year-old Palmer Tipton caught the new state record cutthroat trout, according to TWRA. The fish weighed 4-pounds, 12-ounces, beating the previous record by more than two pounds.

Of course it is a relatively new stocked fish. TWRA begin stocking cutthroats in a few spots in 2021. Palmer's record may not last long, but we'll see?

Congrats to the angler. I think it's awesome that a 10 year old caught it. His smile alone tells me that he's proud.

I may be looking in the wrong place but I can't find a TARP length for cutthroat trout.

Cutthroats are not included in TARP Awards. At the time TARP was initiated, there were not cutthroats in Tennessee. I guess it remains to be seen if they will be added or not?

That's a sure nuff biggun!! Congrats to the young man. They stocked a bunch of cut throats in the Hiwassee a year or so ago. I took my buddy up there for his first time trout fishing the Hiwassee. I had said on the way up that I'd like to catch one of the cutthroats because I haven't caught one yet. His first trout...guess what it was. I've still yet to catch one.

Hiawassee?

I'm not sure what you're asking about the Hiwassee, but the answer is probable in the article provided: https://newschannel9.com/sports/out...ord-for-cutthroat-trout-fishing-palmer-tipton
