World Record Brown Trout

Mannnnn I love big brown trout. I need to make it out to the great lakes one of these days. Hopefully this fall.

Had know Idea trout even got that big- that is a dandy- Congrat's to the fisherman

wow what a beauty, thanks for sharing that is so cool

That is definately a big toad. It is interesting how it is such a different shape as the 43.6 pound WR rainbow caught here in SK last yr or the year before.

oops, I lied, the wr is 48 pounds, caught last yr, the 43.6 was the yr before. Same lake, different twin brother on the end of the rod.

Not to steal the thread, but what's the story with that lake those Rainbows were caught in? I've heard that the lake has some sort of "genetically enhanced" rainbows in it that got into the lake that supposedly grow at a more rapid rate then regular rainbows? Do you know anything about it?

They're considered "triploids" I believe, something to do with a chromosome. They're a rainbow but something in their genetics makes them sterile. They still spawn but like splake they do not actually reproduce. They got into the lake b?c a giant caged area of the lake that was used for growing them for retail got busted on spring by the ice.
I grew up on the shore of that lake and the yr it happened was absolutely tremendous rainbow fishing.

I know some people cried foul about them but they're recognized as offical wr rainbows. Anyway you slice it, they're big trout and those brothers have caught a ridiculous amount of 30 plus pounders the past few yrs.

Thanks for filling me in! I thought there was something different about the lake. Like you said though anyway you slice it, what those guys have done is pretty amazing, hats off to them! I can imagine living on that lake was pretty awesome!

Those are some giant fish!

I think I'd be in shock if I saw a trout that size on the end of my pole! lol. Those are giants!
