Professional fish biologist here. I'm finding this fish story hard to believe. The evidence seems to be wholly anecdotal, based on a fin clip and stocking records. One can speculate endlessly on how a younger fin clipped LT would end up in FGR. Someone claimed an otolith was pulled, cross section, and evaluated. Where is that info? Without that I'll remain unconvinced.
