    Re: people skeptic about new record trout

    I actually don't think its a steelhead vs rainbow hybrid. It is a triploid pure strain rainbow. So instead of having two normal genes and a pair of sex genes, it has just 3 copies of its normal genes. So this rainbow doesn't even think about reproducing, just eating like a monster. So kind of like a hybrid striper I guess

    I have to agree, these triploid rainbows have been genetically mutated to think of nothing else but EATING! They should not be classified in the same category as regular bows, who have to spend enormous amounts of energy on spawning each year. IMO.
