This huge brown was caught in Michigan’s Big Manistee River by Tom Healy, a client of Tim Roller’s. Tim is the veteran river angler who owns Ultimate Outfitters guide service.
The certified weight is just under forty one and a half pounds. It beats Michigan’s state record by several pounds and the world record by more than a pound.
The anglers were casting crankbaits for chinook salmon when the huge fish hit.

Congrats Tim!! That’s just awesome.
Why don’t we have a picture of Tom with the fish rather that Tim?
Because I don’t have a picture of Tom and I do have one of Tim.
