[quote not-a-purist]Fishnate,
Hopefully in ten years my boy can catch a cutt we released the other day. It was only about 16 or 17 inches ling but had ENORMOUS shoulders! It'll be a true giant if it survives that long. My whole thought was, "i hope my boy can catch him when they grow up."

Cutthroat trout are not an exceptionally long lived fish. Depending on the subspecies a mature trout may live anywhere from 6-8 years (Behnke, 1992). ([url "http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/accounts/Oncorhynchus_clarkii/#b09d05f0f51f7c5822e36a7422897830"]Behnke, 1992[/url])
Nice thought, but cutts typically only live 6 to 8 years.
