holdfast Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Breaking News: New World Record Rainbow Trout caught fishingsaskatchewan.ca has confirmed that a new all tackle world record Rainbow Trout has been caught, and officially weighed in at the Fishin' Hole in Saskatoon at 48 lbs. This eclipses the old mark by nearly 5 lbs. The monster measured 42" x 32", and was caught by Sean Konrad of Saskatoon on a Rapala crankbait. Pictures and more details will be provided before the end of the day. Sean is the twin brother (Fishinggeeks) of the former record holder. The trout was caught in Lake Diefenbaker. These guys are incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holdfast Posted September 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 They were on the Radio today and I only caught a few words. From what I understand, their official pictures are being sold to protect them from what I understand, from other users claiming their fish on their lake of choice. You know how fast that picture can spread around the world. These guys have a charter business and he said, that there was only one customer that they had this year that did not catch their Biggest ever fish, but he did catch a 30 lb rainbow. These guys have only been fishing the lake for 7 years. I know there is a controversy about the trout being escaped farm fish, but never the less, Dief is a Huge Lake, and they still have to find them. These guys are either fishing superstars, or Phoney. By now I would think they would of been caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadadude Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Surprise another geneticly man-made rainbow from diefenbaker, I don't think these fish should qualify for world records since they are altered geneticly to grow huge! They will never spawn and never produce young of the same quality, there just man-made freaks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gbfisher Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Its probably some wacked out hormone fed beast raised in a tank. I call foul..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookslav Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I questioned the record last time, Not for being a fake, or any less of an accomplishment, but the ethics of being a tripolid. In my books it was a record Tripoid trout, but not a record Rainbow....a great catch for sure, but allowing a triploid to be an offical species reocrd opens the doors to a slew of ethical questions. In fairness its just my opinion, and I should mention that Mr Fishing Geek himself (AdamKonrad) popped on the site to chastise my opinion and defend his record, He didn't really change my opinion nor do I think he appreciated my opinion LOL! It is what it is...a great catch, and if the MNR says its a record (be it a triploid or not) then I guess its a record...but I don't beleive it should be if its a triploid http://sports.espn.go.com/outdoors/fishing...tory?id=2901070 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLofchik Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I questioned the record last time,Not for being a fake, or any less of an accomplishment, but the ethics of being a tripolid... I'm with you on this. While there's no arguing the size of their fish, how they reached that size is really open to argument. I was pretty disappointed that the MNR allowed a triploid to supplant the long standing rainbow record from the Notty. While these guys have stumbled onto a great fishery and have got their game up above others on the same lake, there is definitely an asterisk next to their fish. Sure Barry Bonds, Sosa & McGWire have all broken baseballs home run record...but should their pharmacist share the podium with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I'm sorry, but not impressed in the least. Now if that monster came out of a lake that had a sustainable population, I'd give you a thumbs up. It's like those giant largemouth they grow down south and out west.

CLofchik Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 i dont care what anybody else says, im impressed! If I raised a genetically modified fish in a private pond, it wouldn't qualify for a record. But as soon as it escapes it does! Hunting org's don't recognize captive hogs escaping into the wild as records, I don't think fishing org's should either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
