Taneycomo Could Hold World Record Brown Trout

[laker67]

The first 41.5 lber was caught up one of the tribs during the salmon spawn. Another that was called a tie for the world record, I am not sure if it was caught in the river or the lake. Both in michigan though, and both seaforellens. And I agree with JD, missouri fish in the 25 to 30 lb range are at the end of their life cycle and have a hard time recovering from stress.

If mdc would allow the experimentation of triploid and seaforellen browns I would say definately yes.

Ahhh, but they do!

Well, tell us more Justin, dont leave us hanging out to dry.

I can't remember if this is priveledged info or not, but lets just say they are out there, how they are doing remains to be seen.

If Arkansas has a superior strain of brown trout why does MDC not adopt it?

To easy to catch

Best I can recall without looking it up was one of the fish was caught out of the Big Manistee River in Michigan while fishing for salmon.The other big brown came out of the Racine Harbor area out on Lake Michigan.Don"t know if that fisherperson was targeting salmon or one of the trout species in the Lake.

Thank you Jeff, I knew that one came out of the river but didnt have a clue about the second fish. My comment to Dylan about "to easy to catch" is a fact. Mdc found that the original strain were being caught out faster than they could raise them. The sheep creek strain they settled on is afraid of its own shadow, literally.

I don't know why they wouldn't adopt a regimen of stocking both them. Mostly the Sheep Creek strain and a few of the Seaforellens. Or they could just adopt stricter regs on keeping browns, bump it up to one of at least 22 or 24 inches.

What strain was the big brown they found dead in 1997 that I think weighed in around 37#.Think Mr.Phil might have been in on the recovery of that fish.Figured to be a world record if alive.Guess the new world record is from New Zealand at 42-1 caught supposedly below a salmon raising farm and full of pellets.
