A 20-year-old Aurora woman became Colorado's newest fishing state-record holder after landing a 43-pound channel catfish at Aurora Reservoir on Oct. 4. The mammoth fish, caught by Jessica Walton, is the largest channel catfish ever caught in Colorado and the third consecutive state record taken from the Front Range reservoir in 15 months.

The catfish measured 40 1/2 inches in length, boasted a 28 5/8-inch girth and tipped the scales at 43 pounds, 6 ounces.
