Ryan, I agree. That fish was near the end of his life. It probably had reproduced dozens of times so it’s genes are still in the river. Had it been a 20-30 lb fish, I would say release it. That fish is a keeper!

Brett Cox youre crazy! This is a trophy that whoever catches it deserves to keep it to tell their kids about it. A fish can only get so old, it’s not like this fish had 5 more years of life in him or anything. Would you rather him roll over for the birds to eat or life forever on somones wall? Nice fish Mr. Healy, congrats!

Sorry to add this but…..You should have taken many photos and measurements. And had a replica Made. practice catch and release! That fish made it that long only to be taken for atrophy???

Congratulations,

Manistee is the place to fish and Captain Paul of the RIVERSIDE is the greatest!

Let Paul mount the whopper he does great work.

Not bad, only 2 years ago my best friend and I were fishing in lake huron when he hooked into a 17 pound brown which at the time was the biggest one i had ever seen. I can officially say now that this Brown blows that out the the water, way to Go!
