Potential record holders must have a valid Colorado fishing license or be younger than 16. The fish must be weighed on a state-certified scale and a weight receipt must be signed by a person who witnessed the weighing. The fish, not frozen, gutted or altered in any way, must be examined and identified by a CPW biologist or wildlife manager, who will submit an application to the Sportfish Program Manager in Denver. Records for the longest and heaviest fish caught can change any time. Current statistics can be found on the CPW website at www. wildlife.state.co.us/Fishing/AwardsRecords/ Pages/AwardsRecords.aspx . co.us/Fishing/AwardsRecords/Recordsby Length/Pages/ReleasedFishRecords.aspx .
