World Record Brown Trout Caught in Manistee River


A little while back, I did a blog entry about the tremendous quality of the fishery on The Manistee River. I didn't realize then that a new world record would be caught there this year. A Rockford area man hooked and landed this monster trout of more than 41 lbs while fishing for salmon in the lower Manistee River. It surpasses a slightly smaller trout taken in Arkansas' White River years earlier. It eclipsed the previous state record by more than 4 lbs. Click Here for a local news story and video. There's no doubt that Michigan is among the nation's great fishing states and when it comes to trout, we now have the world record to prove it!!! Contact our friends at Schmidt Outfitters or The Northern Angler to book your trip on The Big Manistee and a shot and becoming the next world record holder!!
