Yes it was a brood stock trout, they're nasty. They've been swimming around in concrete pools in a hatchery for a long time, they release them in the lake to retire them. They have scraped fins and tails and are just gross. I would much rather catch a 20+ inch trout that was stocked as a fry and grew by being smart and surviving on terrestrials and natural food. Way more of an accomplishment in my opinion.
