Don't think you guys are the first to bring this triploid status up. I've been interviewed live on espn's sports radio station, they had a biologist waiting to talk to me. I told him the following.
(The fish i caught is without a doubt a triploid trout. But as i got deeper into the records etc, i found out that they can't exclude triploid trout from World records. The main reason is due to the fact that triploid trout are a natural occurance.

From talking to the igfa staff and discussing this situation, they found that they cannot turn any rainbow records away due to this simple fact. Unless the other rules are broken.)
Plus I don't quite think u know our province that well, we have one of the most drastic changes in temperature in the world. From -45C to + 45C.
Ask yourself one question
If triploid trout exsist naturally, is it not true that this triploid trout may be one that occured naturally??
The record stands none the less, so while all of you are whining and blabing away , i'm out fishing for our next hunt, The 40+lb Northern pike.
