Ken Gargett Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 sakatchewan's lake diefenbaker. apparently nearly a decade ago, half a mill hatchlings that were between 6 and ten inches, were accidently released into the lake. most would be dead but a few have snuck through. they are triploids - infertile fish - so more energy goes into growing rather than developing eggs/sperm etc. lot of debate as to whether a triploid should be considered for records but they do and this is the world record rainbow. the world record brown, nearly 42 lbs, was caught in michigan THE SAME WEEK!!

thechenman Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Amazing...never seen a trout anywhere near that size. I've a brook right across the street from the front of my house. Lots of brown trout there. See a lot of fisherman drive onto my street during warmer weather to fish...I guess some of the neighbors complain as the police often come by and chase them away. Still, I'm told there is great fishing there, but the water is far to shallow to support trout anywhere near that size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Gargett Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Ken - do you know how it was caught, fly or spinner? i believe a big rapala lure at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIGARHead Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Thats for sure a PIG. Ken, you hit the water lately brotha?...an angry, foulhooked GT didn't do that to your abdomen, did it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdbrown Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 These guys know what they are doing and fish these trout at night time. Ken is correct in the fact that the lake iced up after high water and the heavy ice penetrated the hatchery and they escaped. Certainly different chromosomes. People have been trying to follow these guys and see when where and how they are catching these trout. This particular fish was caught on a jointed Rapala X-Rap.

Ken Gargett Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Thats for sure a PIG. Ken, you hit the water lately brotha?...an angry, foulhooked GT didn't do that to your abdomen, did it? suspect picking up too many boxes of wine did it. love to say it was a GT but the last one of those i caught, i reckon was about 6 minutes old. still fought. and part of the recovery is no fishing for 6 weeks at least.

Huckleberry Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I have to ask...how do you prepare to catch a trout that big. The only way I could ever bring that fish to shore would be with a boat oar and a rope. Unfortunately I never go trout fishing with that type of tackle.
