What else would you call it? It is a rainbow that has been "sterilized".

Sure it's a rainbow.Would an angler still be an angler if they were, how should I say this,,,, fixed?
Trout don't speak Latin.
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.

Genetically, triploids are significantly different.
If triploids count, why not striper? Or elk, for that matter.
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.
