New World Record Brown Trout?
September 29, 2009
This trout was caught in Michigan earlier this month in the Manistee River.
Grand Rapids area resident Tom Healy caught the 41-pound, 7.25 ounce monster on a crankbait while fishing with Tim Roller’s charter service. Michigan DNR fisheries biologists Mark Tonello and Todd Kalish weighed the fish after leveling the certified scales and determined the weight. It is the new record hold for Michigan. Upon the second weighing with the scales leveled, the weight was determined to be 1 pound, .75 ounces heavier than originally determined. The fish was 43.75 inches long.
Go check out Michigan Fly Fishing Club Blog for the details. Wow what a fish.
