Learned something. Before I say it, you need to understand one thing about fish.

If a fish is used in a hatchery to lay eggs, and it can no longer lay eggs, the fish is released in a stocked pond as a “trophy fish,” for people to try to catch. This is called a brooder fish.

The fish I caught today was NOT a brooder fish. However, it WAS a stocked fish.

Here’s how I can tell. There is a clipped fin, indicating it is a stocked fish. However, while cleaning the fish, I noticed the fish was female. It was full of eggs. This means it has not finished laying eggs in its lifetime. It is not a brooder fish. If it was, it would not have eggs.

This is a fish that was stocked a long time ago, and survived many years, becoming wild.

Cooking it tomorrow. Will post pictures when I do.

Someone has been giving you false information. I worked for the G&F in a Rearing Station. We hand spawned the trout. We did not release the older trout because they couldn't produce eggs anymore. We kept them until they were 4 years old. We mostly only spawned them at 3 and 4 years of age. In rare cases we would spawn them at age two. After the 4 year old spawning, we would release them in stocked waters. If they survived until the next spawning season, they would have eggs again.

Your fin damage does not look like a clipped fin to me but I can't see the details that closely. We rarely clipped any fins but when we di clip a fin, it was the adipose fin. To me the fin damage looks like that caused by fungus which can be an issue in hatchery fish.

Caught dinner for tomorrow. Took four hours of fishing, but I got it. 1 pound 12.8 ounces in weight, 17 1/2 inches long. Took me 1 1/2 minutes to bring it in on a light action bait casting rod and reel with 8 pound monofilament line.

It looks like a stocked fish judging from the clipped fin.

Still, a big trout! 3rd biggest trout I have ever caught!

Nice catch Jared!

Nobody gave me false information. I assumed this from my own experience. However, I guess my fishing knowledge was wrong for once.

I am not upset, but I do thank you for correcting me.

On a sidenote, last time the pond I was fishing was stocked, according to Idaho fish and game, was November 2020. I thought that was interesting.

Baking it today.
