wow. hard to believe that, but since I am unlike many people, I do believe it. Stocked trout can have very strange genes from fish from a variety of places after all.

hey TFB,
some of the stocked lakes around here get the odd rainbow with slashes under its jaw.
not saying your wrong or anything but theres a possibility it isnt a cuttbow.

Ain't no cutbow. Bows get like that all the time here. I'll try to find a pic or two. Great fish though! Wow!

well, we call em cutbows over here when they get like that. I guess some of them probably aren't then, if you guys have rainbows that get those slashes. Rainbows aren't supposed to get those though. I wonder why that one did? I find it odd someone in pennsylvania caught one that looked like that. that is one pretty rainbow btw.
