quote from the article:

“it was the biggest brown trout I have ever seen.”

um considering it is a world record...no kidding

Ridiculous fish. I am sure what sounds to be a very busy fishery will now be busier

I didn't think triploid fish farm escapees were eligible for records, wasn't a Bow caught and disqualified a few years back ?

I think the official world record bow from lake Diefenbacker is a triploid.

However, I haven't seen any evidence that this brown is a triploid.

Sure looks like a hatchery fish to me.  Just one persons opinion however.   Reminds me of the mutant rainbows I catch around Parry Sound.

Either way, whether this brown is triploid or not, I don't agree with Frankenfish being eligible for records.

Maybe, but hatchery fish doesn't mean that it's a triploid.

It would have been fun catching that from your pontoon boat.

I am still waiting to hook into a  good king off Thornbury to take me for a tour.

Nope you're right it doesn't.   Just looking at it screams triploid to me.   Similar to what the Konrad boys pull out of Diefenbaker.
