Two World Record Trout in One Week
On September 9, 2009 Tom Healy of Rockford Michigan landed what is now the new Michigan state record brown trout and should be the all-tackle world record. If you haven't seen the pictures I include one in the this post below. This is an enormous fish caught from the Big Manistee River. The previous Michigan state record brown trout weighed in at 34 lbs. 10 oz (but Tom Healy's monster smashes this record weighing in at 41 lbs. 7.25 oz. The current world record Brown Trout weighs in at 40lbs 4 oz.
Previously on September 5, 2009 Sean Konrad broke the world record Rainbow trout by landing a 48 pound monster on Saskatchewan's Lake Diefenbaker. The previous record was held by Sean's twin brother Adam by a Rainbow trout that he landed back in 2007 weighing 43 lbs. 10oz. Before Adam broke the record in 2007, the world record Rainbow trout was held for 37 years.
