[quote troutpimp]Almost doubtlessly, I would wager, and I would additionally submit there needs to be a separate record for genetic mutants.[/quote]
99% of the fish that are oversized are "genetic mutants." The inability to breed keeps them putting in the groceries waiting for the response that doesn't happen due to a malfunction in their reproductive system. This happens naturally as well as in triploid fish. Nature creates a quite a few triploids on it's own. This being said, 90% of all record fish are triploids whether is be from natural causes or man made.![[Image: bobwink.gif]](http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/bobwink.gif)
