Fish Records by Weight

Fish Records by Weight
Potential record holders must have a valid Colorado fishing license, or be under the age of 18. The catch must be made in Colorado in compliance with all state fishing rules and regulations. The fish in question must be weighed on a state-certified scale (lbs and oz), and there must be either a weight receipt or picture of the fish on the scale with the weight visible, signed by a person who witnessed the weighing. State-certified scales are available at the four Colorado Parks and Wildlife regional offices.
The fish may not be frozen, gutted, or altered in any way. It must be examined and identified, and the application signed by a CPW employee before an application is submitted. The employee must fill out and return the application form to the Assistant Chief of Hatcheries in Denver with a picture of the fish on the scale showing the weight, weight receipt of fish when possible, and a picture of the fish on a length-measuring device.
Applications can be mailed to:
