Apparently the fish was only planted a couple days before it was caught.

The problem I have is not wheather the fish are stocked or not rather that the fish are genetically altered to grow that size. Because of this I feel they are no longer "Rainbow Trout" and should be treated as a different fish. I don't disagree with letting it be a record I just feel they should create a separate category for genetically altered fish.

By the way the DFG didn't withdraw the record - the angler did.
