Excellent post and pics LOAH! You are the master of them trout. And a true inspiration to those of us who can't get out to a river or lake very often.

Actually, it doesn't. Large fish are not the product of "old age". Rather, large fish are the product of fast growth.
Look back at LOAH's pictures. He shows a picture of a handful of amphipods (scuds). Those fish are gorging on amphipods - which means they are growing FAST. When fish grow fast, they get large.
There is a reason why those lakes produce big fish, and it is not because the fish are old and took a long time to get big.

Simply amazing! Thanks for the story and the pics/videos.
Yeah, trout on a shrimp diet grow big and fat in a hurry. Amazing what a little fertility will do for a fishery.
