California State Fish and Game reports that 1,000 prize game trout were stolen from a fish farm.

It happened at the San Joaquin State Fish Hatchery.  Each fish weighed at least three pounds.

Game wardens are searching fish markets.  The trout sells for as much as $7.00 per pound.  The thieves would have needed a large truck to get away with 1,000 three pound trout.
