Trophy Trout Rule #10: Always have a net big enough for that one in a million fish. (…and learn how to use it…)

Saw this one today. I've seen this pattern on on some stockies (tigers) before. Just food for discussion because the forum is slowing down as winter sets in.

I'd say some private hatchery would charge a club $500 for that fish maybe $1000

That net is much more than necessary for this fish. IMO.
Many nets are well sized for trout.
Personally use a net that can handle all trout easily, up to about 24".
Also personally try to take wading staff handled net every time for wild trout. It easily allows netting away from the shore and helps keep trout from bouncing on the rocks in the shallows.
That small net can handle trout about 20".
Use larger net for wading and larger streams.

For you guys who don't use the socials-screen shot of the fish.

It's definitely a tiger. A little curious for an account titled "wild trout" but, eh, whatever.

Perhaps it was caught in a waterway, such as the White River in Arkansas. That net looked more like a musky net to me, but it was needed for that big boy.

It was a great fish!

Nice picture/video to get the blood flowing in the middle of winter
