I call B. S you tell me

[rosscrazyelk]

So I frequently talk hunting and fishing with some co workers and today I was talking to one about the salmon run..
He informed me that this weekend he caught a 22 lb. trout out of lake cushman.. I don't really trout fish but does that lake hold a 22 pound trout?

[rtspring]

Did he catch a lantern that was still lit too?   

[seth30]

now we all know that every fishing tale is true

So I frequently talk hunting and fishing with some co workers and today I was talking to one about the salmon run..
He informed me that this weekend he caught a 2.2 lb. trout out of lake cushman.. I don't really trout fish but does that lake hold a 2.2 pound trout?

I made it believable.  See?

What? I caught a 80 lb. king yesterday 

[Ice Cap]

Lake Cushman has a population of Lake Trout so his story is very possible.

Oh, well that's cheating 

[Chinook73]

I don't know about the lake trout, but there are some very large Dolly Varden.  It also holds land/dam locked Chinook that are that size and larger.  If he sucks at identifying fish, he may have caught a king and thought it was something else.....................Or he could just be full of sh!t. 

[jaymark6655]

Does he have pics?  A fish that big I would be taking pictures and posting them everywhere.

[Button Nubbs]

Considering the record came from rufus and weighed 25lbs 11oz, I'd say he's full of poop. There are a lot of people who have no idea how to judge weight on a fish. There are also a lot of people who are just plain liars.

Pics or it didn't happen...

[longrangekiller]

Hell I know a guy that shoots 130 pound bobcats he told me he's shot 3 of them over 100 hahaha    so i geuss it could be true

[Cap.Silver]

Lake Cushman has lot of Kokanee ,but 22lbs is little too much for trout

The comma goes directly after the word, not directly before it 

[Ice Cap]

I'm thinking that he doesn't know what species he caught.

I'm just not used to English grammar  ....every time I see you guys measure something I laugh too  centimeter has 10 mm and decimeter 10 cm and meter has 10 decimeters - not 12 or 16 or 32 I get kick out out of that 

[xd2005]

Sure he didn't mean 22" and just got mixed up with his terms?

[rosscrazyelk]

Nope he said 22lbs.
He sticks to his story even says a gamie checked it and said it was a brook trout ..
Dont know

[Woodchuck]

I'm with you Ross. Just good ol fashioned BS 

[xd2005]

I don't see a record for "Brook Trout," but based on what I'm seeing, that would be one BIG Brook Trout.

The state record brook trout is only 9 pounds.  Better buy him some tp cause he is full of it.

  It was almost believable when I thought it was a lake trout (35.5 lbs, Lake Chelan), but brook trout state record is 9 lbs.

[Bofire]

Washington state record Lake trout is 35 lb 7 oz. out of Lake Chelan.

World record is 102 lbs. out out of Canada, 1961 I think, caught in a gill net.

Lake trout get huge.

Brook trout,?? BULL!!

[packmule]

Lake Cushman has bull trout which are slightly different than lake trout and can be easily confused with brook trout. . . .a study in the lake in 1996 handled 283 bull trout which ranged in length from 10 - 32 inches.  32 inches is a very large trout, as you all know.  That's not to say that the 22 lb "fish story" is true. . . . . . but Lake Cushman, and the river upstream, do hold some very large fish.

I have a good friend who tells me that WDFW has released 150 wolves in washington so far, and a bunch on the olympic Pen.  I call him out everytime.

[Kola16]

Dollies and brookies look a lot the same. But a 22 pound dolly is still pushing it. The biggest dolly that I have heard of was 15 lbs. and that was back in the day out of a river when there would be salmon everywhere.

State record for Dolly is only 10.94, so yeah, 22# would be pushing it a bit!!

I would believe the wolf story long before the fish one.

[jackmaster]

a friend of mine runs the trout lodge out of orting and they often deliver trout that way 20plus pounds to people so maybe he caught one of those  did you ask for a pic or your not gonna believe his fishtail  i know lake trout get pretty damn big as well
