Big fish, even bigger grin

Advertiser Staff

Frank Heggeness, right, shows off a 41-inch, 24-pound lake trout with help from his brother Will. Frank, of Honolulu, landed the fish by himself after a 30-minute fight at Nueltin Lake in Canada. Frank was 7 when he caught the fish and his brother was 9. Both are a year older and just returned from a fishing trip to Alaska where Frank caught an 18-pound king salmon and Will landed a 25-pound king salmon. "Every summer we take a trip," says father, Steven. "I try to give them that, one trip a year."
