After 75 years, Colorado has a new state record for brook trout.

Tim Daniel, of Granby, Colorado, caught a 7.84-pound brook
trout in Monarch Lake in May. On Friday, Daniel’s catch was
recognized as a state record breaker by the Colorado Parks and
Wildlife (CPW).

The previous record for largest brook trout was set in 1947 with
a 7.63-pound fish. That was the state’s longest-standing fish
record, according to officials in a press release.

On April 8, 1974, Hank Aaron of the Atlanta Braves hit his 715th
career home run, breaking
Babe Ruth’s legendary record of 714
homers. A crowd of 53,775 people, the largest in the history of
Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, was with Aaron that night to
cheer when he hit a 4th inning pitch off the Los Angeles Dodgers’
Al Downing. However, as Aaron was an African American who
had received death threats and racist hate mail during his pursuit
of one of baseball’s most distinguished records, the achievement
was bittersweet.
