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.

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.

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.
