Fish Story.

I went fishing today in my new boat. I was using cut skip in about 30 ft of water. I hung into this thing. I recon its some kind of trout but I don't know nothing about trout. It was 2 ft long exactly and a mouth full of sharp teeth.I hope its good to eat because as I write this I have it broiling with lemon juice and salt all over it. What is it?

dont know nothing bout trout but seen pics ....spotted brown ???

I don't know either, I was thinking Lake Trout?? Heres its last photo LOL..Mighty fine eating.

After looking at trout photos, Steel Head Trout is about as close as I can get to figuring it out.

i know what it is .......dinner !!!!!

Yea Steelhead trout. Nice catch! And Looks very good dinner!!

Yep, it's a steelhead trout! Great catch, John! Thanks for sharing the photo's with us! Looks like a wonderful meal too!~! When I saw the title, "Fish Story" and it was from you, I was thinking OMG! What did he do now?? At least it was a "productive" kind of fish story this time! LOLOL

Folks i brought this to the attention of a local site that i go on and they all say Brown trout, Out of the 9 people that answered to my post all say Brown Trout.

Great catch buddy, i bet that just melted in your mouth to.

I do agree 100% Brown trout used to catch a lot of them back in my trouting days of downrigging.

Do Browns usally get that big? That sucker was 2 ft long. Or, it it a normal size? Also, I didn't know trout would hit cut bait like that. Buddy, he slamed it hard.

All fish do stupid things at times, and if the place that they have to grow in is and has abundance of ready food yep them suckers will get huge.

Ok i asked the question you asked john about the size of the fish and this is the response i got, remember this is in Minnesota in lake Superior there should be know reason why they wouldn't get this big there.

browns can get BIG! Our state record is 16lbs 12oz w/ a 20.6in girth caught in Lake Superior. I'm sure Lake Michigan is home to even bigger browns!
