Yeah Paul, I got the pics of that fish the other day, and it said it was taken from Flaming Gorge. Part if Flaming Gorge is in Utah (where I live), and I promise you that I would have heard about that fish being caught if it came out of the Gorge. Flaming Gorge has some 40+ lb Lake Trout though.
I saw this monster rainbow not too long after it had been caught in Canada. As per many things on the internet, the story gets twisted...kind of reminds me of a game we played at Birthday parties when I was a kid. You would whisper something one time into someone's ear, and they in turn would whisper what they heard to the next person, until you got to the last person. They would recite what they had heard (usually some gibberish), because it never got translated correctly.
Heck, you can't even believe everything that you read on GTA...some of these guys are just full of it .... LOL j/k
