This fish is not at all unusual...you see this exact same thing at Fish Lake all the time (every year in fact when the DWR does fall spawning). The reasoning is simple: it all comes down to the bottleneck lake trout must get through in order to start putting on weight and their food sources. The lake trout in the article was never large and it didn't suddenly shrink because of old age; it simply has not been utilizing the same food sources that the large lake trout are using. In other words, some lake trout never switch over to a fish diet and thus never reach large sizes. Read the following link to lake trout and their sizes from Fish Lake; it directly shows and speaks about this very thing happening.
