Trout that are raised for stocking in community ponds average 8" in length. Occasionally the DWR will stock the ponds with larger surplus trout. These fish will usually have short fins and tails from a life in the hatchery.
They are still fun to catch but they are funny to look at.
Once in a while, community ponds will get stocked with some very large old brood stock trout. Some of these fish are very ugly with sores on the stubs where the tails and fins have worn off.
