A triploid escapee from a local pond?

Terry, that's what I thought.....
Not a wild bow...
He looks like a bait guy to me.......so it doesn't count anyway.

I read several articles about that event, and in none of the articles did it mention how that big boy was caught, although I'm going to go out on a limb and guess it was not on a fly. In any event, I'm glad he's back in the water and not on a taxidermy slab.

Made my day.

Fish was caught in a catch and release area, so it had to be released. You can bet he would have kept it if he could have though.

That pig might have fit the definition of "wild", but it looks like it ate at the fish farm/private pond trough to me.
