It's funny that we refer to them as Lake "trout" When I was a kid we called walleye pike. Whatever you want to call it a fish is a fish and they are all fun to catch ?
The story goes, and I assume it is true, that the early biologists thought mackinaw were trout and it wasn't until later, after science had progressed some, that they discovered that they had misclassified them.
