Tell me that's a 22" Brook trout.........*jaw drops* probably closer to 23" if it was perfectly straight

2 Chars huh, now it makes sense why they made the "Splake"....BrookXLake Trout hybrid
Also, that's the 2nd time I saw that name....what is this mythical "Bull Trout" you speak of?

EDIT: Just looked it up...man, I am way behind in current events...so much stuff has been reassigned, reclassified, Declassified, changed or whatever in the past 10 years : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull_trout

That's awesome! I heard there's supposed to be tons of those guys up in Labrador. Very reminiscent of Coaster Brook Trout in Lake Superior.

Are we looking at a pair or a comparison of 2 found in different locales?

Indeed it is, all white husky.

Bull Trout (S. confluentus) are a pacific species of Char found primarily in the waters of British Columbia but there is also an endangered population in Washington state. I can't recall if they're in Alaska but if they are then it would be the more southern part of the state. I've seen some up to 36" and I believe they can grow even larger.

Oh, and those Coasters are both from the same collection spot. The "duller" one is a female and the brighter one a male.

I wish. It is just over 22 cm.
We have splake here too, although I've never caught one. Another fine hatchery product.

Learn something new everyday, I thought splake was salmon x lake trout hybrid. There are some really cool trout crosses though, brown x speckled I think may be my favourite. Rainbow x brown are cool too, haven't seen other possibilities but have heard of some.

I like tiger trout(Salmo trutta × Salvelinus fontinalis)
Not my photo.

 

[davenmandy]

I would have mounted that fish. Probably would have thrown the actual fish back but taken crazy good pictures with size reference and all angles. True beauty.

As the weather warms up, I'll get out more often. This was my first fish of the year.
