    Sick fish🎉 I'd say it's definitely a cutbow

      Thank you sir! Definitely could be for sure, I have came across rainbows from places that have cutthroat nowhere near them that have that faint slash as well and it has alot more rainbow characteristics then anything else but with it being from k lakes there's a solid possibility of it being a cuttbow. Thanks for checking out the vid man!

    Nothing wrong with keeping a fish within your legal limit. That fish seems to be one of the natural reproduced cutbows. Stocked fish of that size would have worn down fins. Doubt these cutbows are having high success rates of breeding though. Congrats on the pb!

    • @RikklesFisher
      @RikklesFisher  Před 6 měsíci +1

      Thanks Brian! The brooders would definitely have worn down fins. But ones that were stocked and grew up in the lake won't. It was a definite upgrade from the 21" er I got years ago when I was there.

      Dude, rainbows are stocked and non-native in that system. If anything you should be glad he took a rainbow out so the NATIVE bulls have less competition for resources. Typical armchair “bio” thinking he understands population dynamics 😂😂

    • @Fishinguy962
      @Fishinguy962 Před 6 měsíci

      @@RikklesFisher that is definitely not a stocked fish, that is a naturally occurring rainbow. The slashes under the jaw do not indicate cuttbow (as everybody thinks) can happen with rainbows and is not a true indicator of cutthroat (google it) I have caught many rainbows out of stocked lakes with no cutthroat around that have the slashes.
      Look back at the stocking reports, the only cutties stocked in the last while have been dirty old brood stock cutthroat that look nothing like what you caught.
      Agree to disagree but you caught a wild fish that would be spawning next spring, think about it if you catch another one. They will never ever stock rainbows in there again and if they get fished out they’ll never be back.

    • @RikklesFisher
      @RikklesFisher  Před 6 měsíci

      @kyle44445 I also lean towards it being a rainbow and not a cuttbow, the only native rainbow species in Alberta is the Athabasca Rainbow Trout, those rainbows in k lakes were not there originally.

    • @Fishinguy962
      @Fishinguy962 Před 6 měsíci +1

      @@RikklesFisher While true that it is not a native fish, it is a wild fish as it hasnt been stocked with rainbows since the 80s. Same way that the bow river has all wild spawning browns/bows but not native to fishery. Hopefully the next one you get you will think twice about bonking it as that big hen was likely full of eggs.
