Chewy Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Quick post to show Eucumbene trout over Dec. Both caught in the middle of the day!! Beauty Brown caught on gold minnow. And then this little mongrel rainbow - on the same lure. Any ideas why it looks so deformed? Chewy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squidboy Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Maybe it ran into a downrigger weight in its early days??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outdoordan Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Looks like he got hit with the "ugly stik" ha ha More like FLOGGED! It obviously still eats and looks reasonably healthy otherwise. Its amazing the injuries you see in some otherwise heathy fish. "I AM NOT AN ANIMAL" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luderick -angler Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 A serious reply it can happen to stockies where there is a deforamtion, have sen it in a couple of fish in NZ. Oh by the way did you release the brown only reason I ask survival rate for trout with fingers in gills equals not good! Also some people take offence if it ain't clarified!!!!

Chewy Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) I ate it!!! And so did the non fish eating missus. Filleted and deboned.... a very usefull trick deboneing. Baked with veggies - oven cooked with a can of tinned peaches - yummo! Sorry mr brown trout - I am sorry I ate you... but you were the first one I have ever caught and I wanted to know what you tasted like.

luderick -angler Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Awesome Chewy glad the brown was good on the plate I have only ever eaten trout out of Taupo that tasted anygood! Most other trout I've eaten have been like mud! A lot to do with the substrate! And don;t apologise to the trout it wa sconsumed not caught mishandled and photographed and put back to die!
