I have not heard about it until now.  But if there is 1 lake in this state a record would come out of it is Rock.

 People have been catching a lot of steelhead. They are maybe 12-14 inches still. I have caught several browns over the years that were 20" or bigger with some pushing 28" but they were long and slender, spawned out with decay and weighed maybe 8-9lbs. I've seen many big trout come out of the lake from other folks as well so I was hoping someone could show me a pic of this beast. :dunno:

On another forum, a guy said he called the Regional office, and was told it was only 19lbs

With no one talking I will wait to see the photos what ever the size it should make the paper soon. Unless the person doesn't care about 15 minutes of fame and ran it through the Grill.

Nice trout, hard to say but I would think closer to that 19 pound mark from the pic.

Does not look like any brown trout I've seen.

Sure looks like a giant brown to me but not at all 29lbs. Even long arming it doesn't look like an upper 20's fish. Certainly a toad though! Congrats to the angler!

It's a German brown. Not a common brown trout
