Title: I call B. S you tell me
Post by: rosscrazyelk on August 20, 2012, 09:12:15 PM: 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?

I made it believable. See?

Post by: Chinook73 on August 20, 2012, 09:41:58 PM: 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. :dunno:

Post by: jaymark6655 on August 20, 2012, 09:43:47 PM: Does he have pics? A fish that big I would be taking pictures and posting them everywhere.
Title: Re: I call B. S you tell me
Post by: Button Nubbs on August 20, 2012, 09:45:14 PM: 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. :chuckle:

Pics or it didn't happen...

Post by: xd2005 on August 20, 2012, 11:00:12 PM: Sure he didn't mean 22" and just got mixed up with his terms?
Title: Re: I call B. S you tell me
Post by: rosscrazyelk on August 21, 2012, 07:15:52 AM: Nope he said 22lbs.
He sticks to his story even says a gamie checked it and said it was a brook trout ..

Post by: xd2005 on August 21, 2012, 07:54:11 AM: I don't see a record for "Brook Trout," but based on what I'm seeing, that would be one BIG Brook Trout.

Post by: jbeaumont21 on August 21, 2012, 08:02:49 AM: The state record brook trout is only 9 pounds. Better buy him some tp cause he is full of it.

:yeah: 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.

Post by: Bofire on August 21, 2012, 11:28:07 AM: 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!! :chuckle:
Title: Re: I call B. S you tell me
Post by: packmule on August 21, 2012, 11:33:33 AM: 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. :chuckle: I call him out everytime.

Post by: Kola16 on August 21, 2012, 11:37:05 AM: 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.
