Brewer 2112 Registered: 01/11/07 Posts: 4898 Loc: in the mass production zone	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? _________________________

Todd Dick Nipples Registered: 03/08/99 Posts: 27840 Loc: Seattle, Washington USA	brewer-yes, abnormal. Not a hybrid, but it had a head injury, and only one eye...the head injury damaged its pituitary gland, and it never sexually matured...it just stayed out in the salt eating and getting bigger. That's what I've read from a few sources, FWIW. Fish on... Todd _________________________ Team Flying Super Ditch Pickle

The Catcherman Repeat Spawner Registered: 06/24/99 Posts: 1201 Loc: Ellensburg, WA	Read the same thing. I'm kinda surprised nobody ever experimented with scientifically altering the pituitary gland, much like they do with triploids, in order to get more growth out of them? Yeah, it seems kinda kooky but then again, humans have done a lot of kooky things. _________________________ www.catchercraft.com
