This paper deals with symmetric random matrices whose upper diagonal entries are obtained from a linear random field with heavy tailed noise. It is shown that the maximum eigenvalue and the spectral radius of such a random matrix with dependent entries converge to the Frech\'et distribution after appropriate scaling. This extends a seminal result of Soshnikov [A.~Soshnikov, Poisson statistics for the largest eigenvalues of {W}igner random matrices with heavy tails. \emph{Electron. Comm. Probab.}, 9:\penalty0 82--91 (electronic), 2004] when the tail index is strictly less than one.
