Note: The date of the article was not recorded, but it mentions another fish caught on Saturday, July 15 of that year. Also, It mentions that the fish was put into the lake in May of 1940 and was caught four years later. This would make the year 1944 and is further corroborated by the fact that July 15, 1944 falls on a Saturday. According to
robert_canfield Bob Canfield,
img-max_hoover.1944 is a picture of Max and that same trout. The leaves are still on the tree in the background suggesting late summer or early fall, very probably not later than October 15.
