Sept Slab of the Month Entry: Puget Sound Cutthroat
Thursday, September 10, 2009 at 12:01AM 
For those who have experienced it, fishing for cutthroat in Puget Sound rarely delivers in this fashion.
This freak of nature was caught last week by an angler from Bend, OR while on a trip with chum brothers Emerald Water Anglers. Taping wasn't conducted, but the eyeball indicates this fish inched its way well into the 20's.

nice fish ,i hit one of these bad boys last november on a coastal river here in oregon ,i thought i had a small steelhead on at first it was the largest trout ive caught to date ,it was super cool to catch one !
Que awesome.
extra points for being nice to the fish
Hot damn! Nice, SRC, I didn't know they could ever get that big?!?!
Been fishing them for 50 years+..and on a very rare day and year they can get bigger.
Been there and done it.....
That is a great fish. Thanks for sharing...
beautiful! nice pics and extra points from me as well for keeping the fish in the water. love the snout on that beast!
Nice work on not taping it! What do you think the chances are that's a steelhead/cutthroat hybrid by the way? Pics can be tough to judge but that fish looks like it might have some mykiss in it
Eh, I've seen bigger...
