craigdritchie Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Wow! According to the Ludington (Michigan) Daily News, some guy caught a 41 pound, 7 ounce brown in the Manistee River. It's a pending world record. www.ludingtondailynews.com/news.php?story_id=45793 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJL Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Legend I'm hoping one day I'll get into a fish that size I remember reading an article saying that the Seeforellen strain of brown trout (which were stocked in the great lakes) could possibly reach weights of over 50lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solopaddler Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Amazing, thanks for posting that. What's even more incredible to me is that it was caught in the river. They don't usually start to show up in numbers 'till a bit later. With the warm temps it must have been a battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Big deal, he didn't catch it on a fly. Oh... is that sour grapes? What a pig. What do you suppose that guy on the left is doing in that first picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuro2 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Big deal, he didn't catch it on a fly. Oh... is that sour grapes? What a pig. What do you suppose that guy on the left is doing in that first picture? He's looking at the lure and realizing the lip is broken and it wasn't running right!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
