Alberta record Rainbow CAUGHT!
Ok, the title is a hair misleading. But the record weight was broke here a month ago, unfortunately it was caught in one of Calgarys private lakes.
But still, WHAT A HOG!
I personally saw the pics and this pig looks like a keeper Chinook Salmon.
I will continue to try and get permission to post the pics. What a treat to see a fish of that size.

There are 40 plus pounders in Definbaker lake. Google that s**t. World record Rainbows were taken out of there. Record was broken and rebroken by two brothers.

Any idea if they are still in the lake, if they are they gotta be 50-60 lbs by now. It's been a few years since I've heard any thing about them.

F.A.W
I think not, I know the location is somewhat a secret where they were caught, but a little investigating might turn out to be fruitful. Imagine hooking onto a 50 plus pound rainbow through the ice. WOW

The Man U speak of is on this forum and he goes by the name "fishinggeek"
And yes u are right he catches huge fish!
Can't imagine how many holes you'd need to drill to get a pig like that!
Oh and tell me how your investigation goes
You got about 1 million other people chasing the same thing
It's a big lake but I wish you all the best
Still awaiting pics!!!!!!

Records don't come out of private lakes.
IGFA needs to get with the times and recognize that GMO fish that are bred for accelerated growth and no reproduction should not qualify either.

Triploidy does occur in nature, but unless you've heard of a lake spontaneously producing thousands of triploids which had been bred for accelerated growth, I do not see how these scenarios can be compared whatsoever.
Just my $0.05

Would you have the same $0.05 opinion if the record was yours? Yes or No?

exactly, it is this very small possibility that makes those fish really special.
how many natural triploids survive to adulthood in a natural setting?
1:10,000?
1:1,000,000?
1:10,000,000?
This in part is what makes them special.
It is sad to see truly spectacular specimens get eclipsed in the books by escaped GMO's.
IGFA themselves may not discriminate, but that does not speak to the fact that these animals are in no way comparable.

I think I was clear.
IGFA has some glaring issues wrt some species.
Their focus is salt water big game, and I doubt these issues will be dealt with.
Keep in mind also, that these livestock fish are commercial property before they escape.
Lets put it this way:
Your Elk farm raises giant elk for market. Your herd escapes through a broken fence.
Couple years down the road, Jed shoots a 600" elk in the vicinity of the elk farm.
Record or no?
Can of worms? Eternally...

Can of worms on an eternal record? Yup. Was the all tackle burbot a triploid? Coincidence? I don't think so. The geeks are amazing fishermen.

The difference is that the rainbows escaped at mostly 2-5 lbs. They were not released weighing 40+ lbs. They grew 95% of their weight/length in a natural environment.

HERITAGE POINTE FOR SURE. You can see the hogs swimming all over. Nothing to catch a 10- 15 Go with a friend and his son just to let the little guy hook into a hog. Always release them for another day.
Huge fish and for sure that is lake X No 30 pounders in Bonavista

Those fish escaped from thier pen this spring will be 11 years so most of them have died, they still have the odd fish escape but from my undestanding a diffrent strain and not as big, the big fish ended up in the river below the dam
