38.5 inches in length and a 34 inch girth. 43 lbs. 10 oz.

It was the world record until his brother caught a heavier one that is apparently longer but not as girthy for its length at 48 pounds.

I saw the typical whining on a fishing website that the first record rainbow was a triploid so it should be disqualified. However I question that as it is oviously full of roe and if that's the case it's no sterile triploid female.

Having personal experience with a potential record fish, it never ceases to amaze me the petty jealous anglers out there.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
