Some Fish Stories Are True: 12-Year-Old’s First Catch Is a Whopper

Talk about starting strong — 12-year-old Brantley Brunelle just reeled in his very first salmon, and it weighed a whopping 24.10 pounds! That’s the kind of fish anglers chase for a lifetime, and this young man landed this for his first one!

We were excited to see this story shared by Lakeridge Lodging and Bait Shop — the place where memories like this are made. If a monster catch is on your bucket list, give them a call at 406-526-3597, stop by 5990 MT HWY 24 S in the town of Fort Peck, MT, or check out www.facebook.com/lakeridgefortpeck — and maybe the next first-catch story they share will be yours!!
