Is this a tiger trout?

[BryanG]

My buddy caught this looks alot like a natural tiger trout they are super hella rare crazy fish. Can anybody confirm this im 90% on a tiger

Could it be a hatchery brookie with worn or bitten off fins? I've seen lots if stocked fish with stubby pec fins. From the pics I googled tiger trout have more stripes than spots.

that's a Brook trout or Speck ( my opinion ) and have been catching them for 40+ years. but a nice plump one.

I have never heard of a tiger trout? It looks like a speckle.

OK I looked up tiger trout and yes I guess they exist, but I highly doubt that is one doesn't look anything like the pictures I find.

Looks like a well fed speckle to me.....probably about 2 1/2 yrs old.

Yup, IMO not a tiger... Straight up speckle, but a good one

Fished plenty of pools that hold both spec and browns, but never caught a tiger, yet...

The pectoral fins are orange tho like a brown no red and white flanked like the back ones. Its defineatly not a stocker and its a juvinile. I know my trout or "char" in a brookies case just never seen one like this i have caught zillions of specks

[BryanG]

Bahhh who knows maybe its a freak

I don't know I have caught many speckles that looked by that one if it is a tiger trout than there not even close to be rare.
