Your right about that Dean! Wild fish have a color that just can't be duplicated on stock trout. I really got ruined fishing out west when I fished some streams in the back country(16 to 20 miles in) of Yellowstone and Jackson Hole. Mostly caught wild cutts and brookies. The color of these wild fish(really liked the spots and red gash on the cutts) is unbelieveable. Also couldn't believe that some of these small streams that you could walk across could produce fish over 20 inches. Places like this are getting hard to find anymore in our country.
