KSL Outdoors Snapshot of the Week: August 8, 2026

Our KSL Outdoors Snapshot of the Week winner this week had an amazing fishing trip and story from Lake Powell. Blake Yates and his family had a great time chasing striper boils. They would see a few fish boiling but noticed hundreds if not thousands of fish underneath the boil. Blake started jigging a Kastmaster in just 30-feet when this giant 37-inch, 25-pound striper hit. Blake says when they finally netted the fish, everyone on the boat started to scream like little girls. Wow, what a catch, Blake! And to help you celebrate it, we're sending you our big prize from Camp Chef for landing the Snapshot of the Week!
