Nah, they look like that right out of the Mancini's hatchery. Lord knows I've stocked enough of them to know. Vern and Jeff don't have the fin wear problems we see on the Pequest fish, and they use a higher grade of feed to allow their fish to acquire the brighter colors you usually associate with wild or longtime holdovers. The Mancini's fish even have the typical 'salmon' colored flesh right out of their hatchery. This also is due to the type of feed they use.
