How many all tackle world records recognized by the IGFA are sterile fish? I would imagine many if not most, which is why they are significantly larger than what would be considered norm for that species.
Additionally, how manipulated are rainbow trout genetics in general? Do you not think that 150 years of selective breeding has tainted any argument against the validity of these records? Should we only be accepting records from genetically pure natural strains? Should we only accept records if the fish is native to the watershed it was caught? If we negate hatchery triploids (not GMO), where does it end and how would argue against accepting anything but pure strain fish from their native, unaltered watersheds?

Why are Triploids not considered GMO?
as I understand the process through heat and pressure a third chromosome
