Locals catch potential state-record setting northern pike at Stagecoach
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — On a Friday in early May, three grown men stood in a boat along the south side of Stagecoach Reservoir, crying.
Brady Wettlaufer of Steamboat Fishing Adventures had just helped a pair of young local men, who wish to remain anonymous, catch a massive fish that he had seen in the reservoir for years. The trio worked tirelessly for half an hour, reeling in a Northern pike that was 48 inches long and weighed 38 pounds, large enough to become the new state record holder.
