Wow !
I figured the world record brown would come from the Great Lakes fisheries- lots of big browns in the 25-30 class taken there.

Several years ago I talked in pertty good lenght with the record holder on the Little Red River in Arkansas. I hate to see a new record concidering I've visted the old record's river quite often. One thing that doesn't set 100% right with me is the fact this new fish was weighed twice and they got two different numbers. The first weight was SHORT of the record. The second beat the record. Well which one is it??? I don't see record of a 3rd Do we just weigh things a whole bunch of times until the scale reads what we want it to once? I'm not 100% confident the record has been broken.  |

hell Red who cares about the record, it is still one whale of a fish. i bet he didn't catch it on no green bean and marshmellow combo! (i've seen that listed on the lunker board at Montauk before!)

Well no two scales will be exactly the same. Get on your bathroom scales and then go to the dr and see how much more you weigh on his. It won't go down as a record unless the weight is certified by Mich DNR and recognized by the record keeping body. Record or not, that's one awesome fish, the catch of a lifetime! |

The fish was weighed twice by the same certified scale. As far as the Little Red record fish, it was caught on a 1/100 oz jig on a flyrod. Not a great big double treble hook crankbait like the "new" one  |

There's an old saying.....something about bitchin' even if he was hung with a new rope.... Damn nice trout, now matter how it was caught, where it was caught, what it was caught on, or who it was caught by. We should all be so fortunate. |

I don't have a problem with it...just responding to Jim's hint (as I interpreted it) that the prevouis fish was catch on bait  no that wasn't what i was getting at. i was just saying it seems anytime one of these big monsters are caught it is usualy by some knucklehead that doesn't have a clue to what they are doing or the fisherman ends up being some 8 yr old girl with a purple pole and matching hat throwing what ever they think they would eat if they were a fish. this guy here seems to come off as a accomplished fisherman and earned it. |

I have fished lot's of great lakes trout and even a 13 pounder or 20 will make you want to wait a while until the next "fish on". They can wear out a good fisherman fast. A 40 pounder would wear out a NFL linebacker.
Sounds like they were trolling. Did anyone catch what great lake?
I always liked coho and King salmon best Browns tasted a bit fishier/oilier to me. Maybe like everything else I just don't know how to cook em.

Jmarriott, I would agree that the big browns aren't prime eating- but, then, neither are big salmon, IMO. Get one that weighs 5 pounds, and strip out the dark meat, and I think you'd like browns as well as steelhead.
The report was a little vague about where the catch was made- but since it was Michigan DNR that was interviewed, I assumed Lake Michigan.
I think Michigan or Ontario would be by far the most likely places for a record brown to come from, with Erie being an outside possibility.

Do we just weigh things a whole bunch of times until the scale reads what we want it to once? Isn't that what Fat Girls do? Jabba |
