Triploid rainbows escaped from a hatchery nearby. Genetically engineered, the Barry Bonds of rainbows.

I don't think it's that cool. Like fisky said " the Barry Bonds of rainbows". Barry's home runs are not that meaningful knowing he's juced.

[AKPM]

its an affront to baseball to compare that fish to Barry Bonds

[WT Bash]

You mean to tell me you wouldnt want to catch one weather or not there GE fish? Most trout out there dont belong there, browns arent even indigenous to the US and rainbows found west of the Mississippi dont belong there so arent they in fact un-natural? GE or not I would love to hook into one, although I would feel better if it was a wild Alaska bow. Anyhow it doesnt bother me at all cause it wasnt caught on a fly rod same as the world record brown.

Gay. That is not a fly rod.

[rifflerat]

weak sauce

I have to disagree - those fish are triploids and although they are on performance enhancers, their heads stay small - which would take Barry Bonds out of the equation!

If its not on a fly rod it doesnt count there are much bigger natural fish swimming in the rivers in Montana and Alaska if its not any one could just juice up rainbows and catch them in a man made pond that doesnt count. Spin fishing sucks also such bitches
