The Golden trout did originate from the state of California. They were transplanted to several parts of the US that could sustain the altitude and climate to support their habitat.
The CA state record was a 9lb 8oz caught back in 1952. That shows that although generally small in size, they can attain some decent proportions to them based on their available food supply and climatary conditions.
The preferred altitude for them to reproduce and flourish is @8,000 ft and higher. They have been known to live at slightly lower altitudes but under non reproductive status.
It would truly be a sight to behold a Golden that is 4lbs or better. I haven't seen one yet but I have heard about them.[
