If I remember correctly there was a brown from the Little red that was a previous world record brown. Seeing that brown trout can grow to well over 40 inches and also pounds if given the right conditions, I am amazed that many of us (myself included) are happy with catching ones that are only 10 to 15% of their growth potential.
The AGFC is likely in for a difficult time to convince folks to keep those 14 to 16 inch fish.
