Thanks striper tattoo that makes sense, i looked it up its a tiger due to missing the spots and the hatchery they use has them,

looks like it was in the wild for a good amount of time too, very natural look to it.

That is one ugly tiger trout. Looks like a inbred trout/bass/pleco combo

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.
