World Record Brown? - 4
by Gerry Bethge
Internet message boards throughout Michigan are abuzz with word of a possible world record brown trout taken on the Manistee River yesterday morning. Tom Healy of Rockford, Michigan caught the huge brown which weighed in at 41 pounds, 7 ounces and measured 43.75 inches long. Biologists have reportedly taken scale samples of the fish to verify the catch.

It is expected that Healy will contact the IGFA to claim the record. |

Either way, these are LARGE fish.
Congrats on the fish and possible record. That's an awesome lookin trout.
I still have the 1992 Outdoor life Issue where it has Howard collins and his new world record. I have saved every issue since i was 6 years old (1989). Threw the years i have picked up alot of older issues from the 70's and on from the 60's. Its great to read back threw them to see how ideas, and gadgets have changed.
Makes me wonder about all the panic over global warming, and polution and the ozone layer. Somewhere, someone must be doing somthing right for fish like these to be getting caught. MAYBE THE PLANET HAS HOPE STILL.
