I think most of our trout records are bogus. Should really separate native/wild from stocked/hatchery fish. There really is no comparing the two - especially brook trout which rarely exceed 12" or go over 1lb under normal conditions(i.e not being fed pellets or kept in some spring pond)
gr8 point and I think they should do that with the trout but......then you'll have the guys saying and they are right that you can't tell the diff of a full blown native large brown vs one stocked at 9" and grown up to a big size....unless they begin and don't ever stop clipping adapost fins
