It may have been discussed earlier on the forum but I received this mail from a friend in UK after sending a photo of a large trout that I had caught.

"Please let him know that a 36" trout was recently caught here in one of the great lakes.  They said it was snagged so I don't know whether it was killed but had been tagged and released 8 times before and determined at least 50 years old.  Adds new meaning to "Old Trout"

I was under the impression that trout lived to less than ten years with browns having the longest longevity. The fish may have come from a very cold lake.

I saw that in the news, too. One of the great lakes in a sanctuary area.
