I saw that on Zumi Zumi's site - That's a HUGE fish and the guy has caught others in the 30 lb range for several IGAF line class records.

That piece of water in Sask grows em big.

I have not fished Deifenbaker, but have friends and aquaintences that have. That sure is a brute of a fish. Thanks for posting this....I thoroughly enjoy getting fishing news from various parts of Canada.

The lake itself is an extremely fertile prairie reservoir and has some very large walleye, whitefish, and even some lakers according to past information I have read. There is a fairly high profile walleye tournament there called the Vanity Cup in the fall with $147,000 in prizes according to the website.

Note- there was a huge escape of rainbows a few years ago if memory serves me correctly; my hunch is that this fish could be part of that year class. Another sidebar note, is that most new reservoirs (this is an older one) usually have significant fertility rates for fish growth, coupled with the old observation that a news species of fish released in a new environement often achieve mass fairly quickly.....then taper off. West of Deifenbaker about 5 hours is a place called Crawling Valley that underwent the same sort of thing for rainbows, with many hitting the 18-20 pd mark in the late 1980's. Who knows...maybe this is a triploid?

Just some tidbits.
