Default Alberta record Rainbow CAUGHT!

Ok, the title is a hair misleading. But the record weight was broke here a month ago, unfortunately it was caught in one of Calgarys private lakes.

But still, WHAT A HOG!
I personally saw the pics and this pig looks like a keeper Chinook Salmon.

I will continue to try and get permission to post the pics. What a treat to see a fish of that size.

There are 40 plus pounders in Definbaker lake. Google that s**t. World record Rainbows were taken out of there. Record was broken and rebroken by two brothers.

Any idea if they are still in the lake, if they are they gotta be 50-60 lbs by now. It's been a few years since I've heard any thing about them.

Those fish escaped from thier pen this spring will be 11 years so most of them have died, they still have the odd fish escape but from my undestanding a diffrent strain and not as big, the big fish ended up in the river below the dam

F.A.W

I think not, I know the location is somewhat a secret where they were caught, but a little investigating might turn out to be fruitful. Imagine hooking onto a 50 plus pound rainbow through the ice. WOW

The Man U speak of is on this forum and he goes by the name "fishinggeek"
And yes u are right he catches huge fish!
Can't imagine how many holes you'd need to drill to get a pig like that!
Oh and tell me how your investigation goes
You got about 1 million other people chasing the same thing
It's a big lake but I wish you all the best




Still awaiting pics!!!!!!

HERITAGE POINTE FOR SURE. You can see the hogs swimming all over. Nothing to catch a 10- 15 Go with a friend and his son just to let the little guy hook into a hog. Always release them for another day.

Huge fish and for sure that is lake X No 30 pounders in Bonavista
