It just makes me wonder .....
When was the lake last stocked with tiger trout.
Since tiger trout are a hybrid .

The tiger trout is an artificially produced sterile hybrid that is produced from crossing a male brown trout with a female brook trout.  Hybridization can occur naturally, however it is very rare. Tiger trout have pronounced dark vermiculations (tiger stripes, like brook trout) all over a brownish, gray body.Average 10-16 inches. Tiger trout can grow up to 20 inches and five pounds in quality populations.

Anyway absolute giant.
And congrats to the guy ,I bet that was epic to pull that one in.

It is the new World record. Was fishing there the evening after it was caught.

[OutHouse]

Oh wow I wonder how old it is.

[LDennis24]

Yeah I read another article that said " For the sake of comparison, the all-tackle world record stands at 20 pounds, 13 ounces. That tiger trout was caught in Wisconsin at Lake Michigan in 1978. " So that tells me he just caught the new world record correct?

It’s actually a brown female with a brook male for what it is worth.  I know them very well....it is stocked every year.  That is a monster.....probably on light gear too.  Good fisherman there.....

Congrats to the angle, no doubt we have world class fishing in E Wa.

The portion of my post male and female was right off the WDFW website ,so you'll have to talk to them about how they produce a tiger trout.
But it wouldn't surprise me if your right and there wrong.

Click on link,then click on description and range.

Also I did go to the fish stocking archive.
It only goes back 5 years ,The only fish that they  report they stocked in the last 5 years are rainbow trout.
So they stock it with tiger don't report it.
It's a wild tiger trout or they stocked it with tiger many years ago.
But anyway here is a link to back years of stocking reports.
Feel free to look for yourself.
