i read or heard from somewhere that the world record steelhead the 8yr old caught was abnormal.

there was a head injury to this steelhead. as in the injury numbed the part of brain that effected the spawn drive. this fish that was caught had never made a spawning run. the scale record showed it never went back to fresh water. it was basically a hybrid, explaining the large size. this steelhead could have reached the 50# mark if it was not caught.

has anyone else ever heard this?
