Upon further review, a fish that fooled experienced anglers and biologists alike into thinking it may be a new Minnesota state record brook trout was indeed a splake, a human-invented hybrid between a lake trout and brook trout, according to DNA test results.
 

Mike Ince of Aitkin caught the 6.93-pound fish on June 7 on Lake Superior along the North Shore near Duluth, and anglers on board believed the coloration and fight of the fish made it seem like a natural brookie. The fish also had a very square or straight-back tail fin, hinting toward brook trout.
