A 5-year-old girl reeled in a fish from an Idaho river and broke her uncle’s catch-and-release record, wildlife officials said. Akeley Fahnholz of Salmon caught the record-sized peamouth from the Snake River on Feb. 25, Idaho Fish and Game Salmon Region said in a Monday, March 6, Facebook post.

The fish measured 14.125 inches, according to the wildlife agency. Akeley caught the fish with her uncle, who held the length record for catch-and-release of a peamouth at 13.5 inches, according to the Idaho Fish and Game Salmon Region.
