Manistee R. produces potential world record brown!

Recommended Posts

The fish took a black-and-silver Rapala Shad Rap crankbait that Healy cast from fishing guide Tim Roller’s boat. Healy used a Cabela’s XML spinning rod and Cabela’s Prodigy reel loaded with 30-pound braided line.

Would have been a hell of a fight on an 8 weight.

I was just going to post this. Do they really need to kill such a great fish in order to get in the record books? So much for the survival of the fittest.

Brian most of us here in Michigan knew this record would fall to a lake run brown. I got to believe that in the next 10 years that the record will fall again to another lake Michigan fish. so even thought I feel like it should have been released its not the only one there are more out there. probably more than most of us think....
