I've grown up fishing Montana and Utah and have caught hundreds of trout, brookies and rainbows. I have yet to fish trout in So Cal but every time I see pics of fish being caught down here their tails are a mess. Is that because they are planters or is there some fin disease down here? Not trying to thread jack, just curious as your fish has the same trademark "So Cal tail." Great catch though, that thing is a behemoth for sure!

Awesome! Today was scratch fishing at the lake, all day; considering that, you did exceptionally well.

[tunaseeker]

Nice!!! Well done!

I've heard two reasons.
1. They live in crowded situations so they get beat up.
2. They're genetically altered and fed so their body grows fast and their tales can't keep up.

That is a pig Easy! The little concrete culverts that they raise those pigs in might have something to do with the tails rubbing away. Especially when they are in there with hundreds of others fighting over the same food.

That's a nice fish.

on the topic of where's the fin? http://wildlife.utah.gov/fes/pdf_pubs/2003_03.pdf.

My summary/experience is that fin abrasion/disease is a "tail-tail" sign of a hatchery fish.

Congratz on your PB trout Josh! Haven't caught anything over 3lbs there. Bet she put up a hell of a fight ha.

[ful-rac]

Nice trout! That's about the size of the biggest I've ever caught there...Nice fish!
