Stocker rainbows that just left the runways.

One kind of fish.

On trout I just snap the throat latch, break the neck and finger rip the gills out; but if the trout (or any fish) aren't  bled out promptly they build up chemicals (lactic acid?) from stress that cause bad flavors in the meat. The longer the "fight and the longer on a stringer or in a basket the worse the fish will taste.  Actually true of all animals I guess, we used to stick the hogs with a long knife so they bled bled out and in killing chickens bleeding is important, hence decapitation. It helps fish taste  taste better if you get them iced as soon as they are bled.

I would say the one on top and the one on the bottom are both female rainbows. The one in the middle is a male rainbow.

That is just a genetic variation between Rainbow trout.

There are two types of people. Those who dream dreams and wish, then there are the do'ers. I am a do'er!

That one has some cutthroat in it. In the middle but still mostly rainbow. Lots of genetic variation anymore due to floods and hatcheries taking what they can get. Neosho puts out silvery slimmer fish where as Bennett and Shepard put out prettier fish. Just a hodge podge of genetics anymore
