Question is, do you consider a triploid a Rainbow?

What else would you call it? It is a rainbow that has been "sterilized".
Sure it's a rainbow. :D Would an angler still be an angler if they were, how should I say this,,,, fixed? ;)
so my question is: if you were a catch and release angler, would you release? I am mainly a catch and release angler when i comes to wild trout and cutthroats. I do keep rainbows only to be eatten that day. I will not keep fish to freeze because i will not eat them later (unless its salmon or steelhead), so if its past dinner or i'm not cooking fish, I release. Now this fish is not for eatting so by my "rule", it would be a releaser. I think my pride and ego would get in the way...I'd keep it!!
Frankenfish should have their own class in the records.
Cut the legs off a cow, paint a pink stripe down the side and throw it in the water!
So now the questions is; if a fish is genetically altered so it can't breed and now focuses on eating and getting big, should it have its own record classification different from the natural, non-genetically altered fish?
Ok, sounds good to me but it is still a rainbow.
That fish is still shy of the world record.
