A "Pythagorean Plus One" triple can be defined as any three distinct integers a, b, c, such all three of these are one more than a perfect square, and also a times b equals c. What is the lowest value of c possible?

Pythagorean Plus One triples where all integers are odd, are rare as hen's teeth. So far I have found only two such triples:

(5,65,325) and (17,1025,17425)
