 |
|
This thing is huge!!! Caught near where I fish on the weekends when I can get away. I cannot believe he caught a Brown this big...
| Quote: | ROCKFORD -- Tom Healy floated along the Manistee River in Manistee County on Wednesday morning hoping to hook a few salmon, but the longtime fisherman's fate was much weightier.
The 66-year-old Rockford man wrangled with a 41-pound, 7-ounce, 43.75-inch-long brown trout for 15 minutes before hauling it into his boat. The fish breaks the species' state record and awaits verification by world record keepers as the largest ever caught.
"When we hooked it, we knew it was a big fish," Healy said. "How big, we didn't realize."
Officials with the state Department of Natural Resources' fisheries division Wednesday checked out the monstrous grab and said it meets all guidelines as Michigan's new champion.
"This is one of the most amazing fish I've seen in my life," said Todd Kalish, fisheries supervisor for the Central Lake Michigan unit, "a real testament of the world class fishery Michigan provides.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing for someone like that." |

The crazy thing is, if he caught one this big I'm willing to bet there's bigger ones out in Lake Michigan still...  |
