The Admin Fairbanks, AK Posts: 2021	Geez, there's a world record rainbow this week too! http://sports.espn.go.com/outdoors/fishing/news/story?id=4466614 It's a very impressive fish, but I'm not sure this one (or the previous record from the same lake) should really count. Both are part of a generation of "triploid" fish farm escapees, which are genetically modified to put all their energy into growth and never spawn. It seems those fish should have their own category.

	No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere...

Oscoda, MI Posts: 1120	I have actually heard that the very largest Chinook salmon ever caught were naturally occuring triploids, and I wouldn't doubt this might be true for other species as well. It happens, not just in hatcheries. Perhaps we should be taking DNA samples from future outsized fish (SMALL samples so these giants can be released to grow even bigger) of any salmonid species? I for one would be curious to find out... Jonathon
