Okay, I learned something interesting.
So, one the fish I caught, was a stocked trout. The other one, the very big one was a wild one. Here's a picture of them.

It's like David and Goliath! I then start a processing them, and I noticed something interesting. The meat on the stocked trout was a different color than the meat on the wild one.

It's the same with grass grown back yard poultry. Critters of all sorts who are allowed to express themselves as nature intended taste better and are often more juicy.
We decided to cook each trout the same way, and taste to see if there really is a difference between the taste of a stocked trout and the taste of a wild trout.
Believe it or not, the wild trout actually tasted a lot more flavorful and a lot more moist than the stocked trout. Everybody in my family noticed.
So, there is a difference in taste when it comes to trout from the wild and trout that were farm-raised.
