A man who caught a 38-inch 18.69-pound lake trout nearly three years ago just hooked a native Sebago salmon that bested his own record for that fish. Early season open water fishing can be tricky, Gary Theriault of Naples said Friday. “It took me four or five tries before I could scoop him up,” Theriault said. He couldn’t believe how big the fish was. The fish weighed 6.9 pounds and was 27½ inches long, beating his personal best of 25 inches for salmon.
