Nice fishing but sorry to burst your bubble that is not a trout. No trout that size would have a convex tail that fish has a concave tail and that fish's tail has the horns of a salmon. Even to look at the anal fin it is perfectly clear that the outer ray would come behind the inner if the fin were compressed. That is a grilse you caught there my friend, that does not detract from the beauty of the fish or your achievement, well done and a great bit of fishing.

Regards Wez
