AHHA. yeah they are ugly fish. they are triploid rainbow trout i believe. But you wouldnt imagine how fun they are to catch! the 10.75 i have here(if the pic comes out)put up a great fight and took many long runs. had to chase it down the shoreline forever. it was sweet. the 10.75 had most of its tail...only missing a tip of one end. It was lockjawed and full of eggs! I had to push all the eggs out before they took the pic since they were getting all over the place. Bryan
