Nice video. That certainly is a trophy Coastal Cutt. The thing to keep in mind about most cutthroat's is that they have big heads and tails and those don't add up to much weight. I fish Pyramid Lake in Nevada for Lahontan Cutthroat, where a 24" would typically run about 4Lbs, but a girthy specimen might go over 5Lbs.
Your fish is certainly a trophy for its subspecies.
Man, I think your scale was bogus, If that trout was realy 24.5 inches long. 24.5 inches is the minimum length for Chinook Salmon, and I have wieghed many at that length, they are usualy between 6.5 to 7.5 pounds. I know that a salmon would have more fat in it, but that fish lookes to be well proportioned. I would guess it's weight at just over 5 pounds.
way to be a jerk man cutthroat 20-24 inches long weigh anywhere for 3-6 lbs my dad got one abut that size weighed 4.5lbs

Hey thanks, and you could easily be right.
I didn't weigh it...but I did measure it twice!
It seemed skinny for the length...thats why I guessed lower in weight...but it was a wally for sure...one very fine trout!
Thanks again.
