This could be the winning fish this year!

Interesting

[GEARHEAD]

almost as big as the 34.5 inch fish i caught out of there 10 years ago..

[TheHunt]

If someone catches it they are going take it home. 

[C-Money]

Very interesting! I wondered if the chromosomes lined up close enough for Salmon to spawn successfully with rainbows/steelhead. What a fish this would be if it became wide spread!

[gasman]

I will be after him again this year

The only problem is ............. the guy at the store has been talking about "Snagger" since about 1995 at least 

Went in to buy night crawlers, he was telling a customer "at least three people I know of have hooked Snagger on this here" 

Plus how would they know Snagger was a "hybrid" if nobody has caught him

Just sayin 

Definitely some big fish in there though......

[Mandownitis]

I know this sounds like a huge fish story but,  I was fishing the North end of the lake two years ago on opening morning.  I had the pole out the back trolling my favorite lure..  Anyway I looked back to see a huge bite.  As I reached for the pole it got pulled into the drink.  All I could see was the pole going back in the water.  I can not be sure it was "Snagger",  but my feeling is it was..

Catfish Hunter look out. Snagger is the new(old) top dog(cat?) in town.

How long is Snagger's proposed life span?

Catfish hunter! Haha!!! First thing I thought of.

[gasman]

supposedly the WDFW bio has netted him and taken the measurements.

He had roostertail two years ago in his mouth and they caught him before the derby last year and removed it 

and as the story goes on..............

[HUNTINCOUPLE]

Is what your sayin that is a picture of the fish being measured is Snagger? If so why is his eyeball centered as if he his dead and not alive?

[GEARHEAD]

on second look, the fish is for sure dead....and appears to be only around six pounds...
