Here is video of a man who caught a record-setting brown trout on the Manistee River in Michigan. The trout weighed 41.45 lb., a new state record for Michigan, and maybe a national record. The vide shows the man with the trout . . . (VIDEO)
Mmmmm...trout.
I used to canoe on that river as a kid...brings back breat memories!
I caught a 2 pound brown trout on The Cooks Run years ago.
One of my coworkers was about 50 ft from this when he caught this fish. Awesome fish!
And 22 of those pounds turned out to be from its ingestion of heavy metals in the water!
Years ago a girlfriend and I went fishing for steelhead below the Tippy dam and she caught an 11lb walleye and I got skunked.
You know the Manistee do you?
Gonna take a LOT of butter to fry that baby up.
Or a big nail to hang it on the wall!
Smartest fish in the area until it got alzheimer’s.

Walleye are Great eating, but not too much fun to catch...Brought up a walleye on Mullet lake once trolling with my dad and thought it was just a snag...didn’t know it was a fish until it reached the top of the water...but YUMMy in a beer batter
Walleye is the best eating fish there is. Only had real Walleye a couple times. Some places serve something called Walleye Pike which isn’t that good.
Grilled with lemon, butter and just a touch of honey basted on them is perfect for walley.
Walleye & walleye pike are one and the same.A walleye is a member of the pike family, same as a “northern pike”.
I worked in a restaurant in northern wisconsin several years back, and the proprietor sold alaskan “redfish” as walleye. Most people couldn’t tell the difference.Maybe thats what you were served. And you are right, it does not taste the same!!! viva-la-walleye!!!!
I have found that most restaurents that serve fish, its always frozen and not fresh....Cannot compare to catching and eating the same day...I found one shop in Royal Oak Michgan that had great fresh fish and when I talked with the guy behind the counter he said they get their fish 3 times a week...had good Whitefish...another tasty one. They catch a lot of Whitefish in Lake Superior..
Would a fish that large be of to eat or, would it be full of worms?
As did my father(RIP)
