I left the file big because it was such a huge, beautiful fish!


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.


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.
