Ämp Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 The Ludington Daily News says Tom Healy of Rockford caught the 41-pound, 7 1/4-ounce trout Wednesday from a boat in the Manistee River. Department of Natural Resources biologists have weighed the fish and confirm its type. The previous state record for brown trout was a 36-pound, 13-ounce specimen caught in Frankfort in 2007. The Daily News says the catch might have broken a world record. Presently, that distinction belongs to a 40-pound, 4-ounce brown trout caught in 1992 on the Little Red River in Arkansas. Healy would need certification from the International Game Fish Association or the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame as the new record holder. .

Maybe this will take a little pressure off the Little Red in Arkansas. The White, Norfork, and Little Red get hammered by anglers. I know it's great for the tourist trade, but bad for the fish---lots of hooks in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
