I saw this today at work and was baffled at the sheer size of this fish. Guess it didn't come from Taney afterall, but I am sure there is one larger in the Ozarks!

My heart skipped a beat.

Seriously, I thought my fish got caught from below chute 3.

I been tryin to tell you guys what kinda fish rapalas produce.

Kinda surprised that size fish hit such a small rapala...right spot at the right time...that's the lucky part of fishin. Then again, kinda hard for our waters compared to those large lakes to hold very many fish of that size.

6 years old...amazing. Thats what a ton of forage will do.

Awesome fish !

I've fished the Manistee 3 times and it's a hard river to figure out. Miles of dead water then you come across a stretch that is just full of fish....and looks no different from anything else. Frustrating as all get out.

The people around there are kinda different too.

Big fish but not as pretty as the ones I see taken out of the White River system.

I know it's probably a different strain but I like the orange spots many of ours have.

It is a "seeforellen" brown trout. They are adapted for large and deep lakes like lake michigan.They are longer lived and grow considerably larger than german or sheepcreek browns. A 54 pounder came out of a scandinavian lake not so long ago, but the angler failed to meet IGFA standards for an all tackle world record. IMO the sheep creek brown is the most colorful and best proportioned fish.

I do agree with this laker. The sheep creek is prettier, but a fish that size would be a blast to catch.

Ok,

I told everyone that I didn't want to make anyone one upset with me but what the hey.

I've been totally dishonest about a couple of things on here and just gotta get it off my chest. First of all I aint near as old as I let on and the guy that caught that fish, yeah, you gussed it...Tom Healy (aka, brownieman).

I thought this one would be worth blowing my cover over, lol.

Every statement above is total b.s. Any misrepresentation or abuse of this footage is stricktly prohibited. That being said you all eat your hearts out, lol...and hopefully get a little chuckle.
