Wow! Thats the fattest trout I have ever seen. Thanks for posting. Its not the kind of trout I like to pursue, but interesting none the less.

Man, that thing is a beast. It looks like it has some gland issues or something.

 

[Maqua]

They're gonna need a bigger frying pan.:thumbup: :thumbup:

He caught that on 6 pound test?! Must have fought it for an hour at least, what a fish.


Oh, and I predict a run on Mepps Syclops spoons any time now!

amazing

 

[sherlockbonez]

It has a larger waist than me....

While we're here, what's the biggest fish you ever caught?

Mine is a 36x24 salmon I caught during the fall run when I was around 15. I don't know how much it weight since it was released.

That boy will make some nice cash if those manufacturers pick him up.

Nice trout!!!

Six-pound test seems almost ridiculous for a fish like that. If true, it must have been out in open water with absolutely no snags in sight.

They have the whole story posted now:

Looks like these guys know what they're doing.

Hey, that scale just shows a weight and no fish.

They might just have a couple sacks of dog food on there.

That rainbow is insane, has it been tested for steroids?

wow that things huge

 

[BlueyM]

That is one giant trout.
I have a photo of a 33lb brown trout that was caught in 1935 in a little town in Tasmania called Deloraine.
It could never be entered for a record because it was caught by scooping it out of a river pool that had been dammed up while a road bridge was being built nearby, and not on a line.
The fish had been in a freezer in the local hotel pub bar for 50 years when I had my photo taken with it, and was a little worse for wear, but it was a great talking point!

Wonder if they ever cooked it...

Well, this one made ESPN Outdoors: http://sports.espn.go.com/outdoors/fishing/news/story?id=2901070

Now, I'm just waiting for the story to break where we find out the brothers raised "Moby" in a home aquarium and fed him corn and steroids.
