On another forum we were discussing how the head and tail look brook but the body screams NOT brook. Long, slender, no halos, awkward elongated spots, etc.
We also were discussing how the tigers in certain lakes that grub on scuds tend to look more like brooks than browns (Manti and Boulders).
There are few anglers who target and catch more tigers (and brookies) than the group of anglers I associate and fish with, and one of them even thought a big tiger he caught on the boulders was a brookie until the group convinced him otherwise. One reason I love Boulder tigers is how much more dominant the Bookie genes seem to be in them.
This one is extra brookie but definitely believe it could be a tiger. Still far bigger than my biggest tiger and I am still jealous. But not as jealous as I was.
Great catch!
