That's a remarkable coloration. It has the features of both a Brown
and a Rainbow.
I'd ask the State Game Dept to do a DNA test.

I thought the same thing.

Nice fish,

This photo is beautifully lit and composed. I think the secondary
illumination gives the fish a great color. What's the diameter of that
reel? :-)

The other three fish you posted, Peter, looked like spawners or
near-spawners. This fish looks much fresher.

How are you fishing for them? My guess is that you're swinging streamers.

Peter,

You've posted the two best fish-on-ground (FOG) photos I've ever seen
here. This was one of them. I wish I'd saved the other.

FOG is an art form unto itself. :-)

Next time, though, turn the reel right-side up.

My reel is a Lamson 3.5, which I assume is the reel's diameter in
inches. I estimated that big hen at 13 pounds or so.

If it's a 3.5 inch reel it looks to me like the fish (a fatty) was at
least 27 to 28 inches long. I don't know that I call it 13 pounds, but
its a very impressive fish and photo.

He is for sure NOT swinging $pam infused Wiggles!

It is a common color pattern for deep water (Great Lakes) browns. The spots
often include red in the center surrounded with black, in which case the
spots are called "rosettes". They will run up the rivers in the fall and
apparently will hold the spotted silver pattern.
