(COLORADO SPRINGS) — Tuesday, June 18 was ‘National Go Fishing Day’, and one young angler in Colorado Springs reeled in quite the catch at Prospect Lake.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) shared photos of the little fisherman and a 33-pound carp that he reeled in. After the carp was weighed and photos were taken the fish was released back into the lake.
