Agree Ron. Seen some BEASTS come out of there as I am sure BG has as well. Still a fish I would be proud of!
My last few trips have all been focused Stripers. Nothing too big to report ~10 lbs being the biggest, but the bite is on for the spring Striper run in the Delta!

I lost one we all thought to be close to thirty bitd. It was HUGE- and the lake was somewhat clear- could see her ten feet down or more. i wept...
The all-tackle record for cutthroat is 41 pounds (39 inches long), caught at Pyramid Lake in 1925.
Any trout over 30 inches is a big one to me!
The really big ones usually find a way...to get away.

Hi Ron,
You got any pictures of some of your big ones from Pyramid?
This was my first time there, and I fell in love with the place.
The whole fishing from a ladder thing was great fun.
From what I've read they found the original pyramid lake lahontan strain
(that was extinct in the lake) from a stream near Pilot Peak, NV, that
must have been transplanted back in the old days (confirmed by DNA match
from some of the old fish mounts) and re-introduced the pure strain in
2006. A 24 lb er came out this season. It's called the pilot peak strain
and you can tell the difference because they clipped the adipose fins.
They're talking 30 pounders within a few years!

Corny, I recognized it before I read the sign. At the lower of the two, I caught a 15" rainbow on every cast, literally.
This lake is famous, but the best fishing is not in the lake, but in the deep, cold, ponds in the forest behind the beach.

the real record replica (41 + lbs) is in the Carson City State Museum,, and it was shaped like a football with fins..That fish although maybe the same weight, doesnt share the dimension of the fish in the carson state museum.. And it was done decades ago..That one above looks like a lake trout blank to be honest..
The 41# was caught in 1925 by Jon Skimmerhorn,, 39" 41 + lbs! It was never entered as the official world record though!
Your'e right Ron, it does look like a laker, or maybe a female chinook salmon! I'd like to see a picture of the real fish, although the mount is probably severly dilapidated by now.
The 1925 Skimmerhorn fish is lised on the IGFA web site as the all-tackle world record for cutthroat trout (41 pounds 0 ounces)
