Man, that is a big cutthroat!!!

[Big Sky]

There are a lot of different cutthroat species. The largest are the Lahontan cutthroat that come out of Pyramid Lake in Nevada. However those things are freakishly big and most cutthroat don't look anything like that. Here in Utah where I'm fishing it's mostly Bear Lake strain or Bonneville cutthroats with some Colorado and Yellowstone cutthroat thrown in just for fun. This trout in the photo is a Bear Lake strain cutthroat. They are notorious for being skinny and relatively ugly. This one however is super healthy and the biggest I have ever seen come out of this body of water. In fact, I didn't even know a fish like this existed in this lake anymore. Heckuva a trout for where it was caught and I was all kinds of happy.

"A float tube..." is one of the funniest answers I've heard in a long time. Thanks I needed that laugh.
