LOTP ICE FISHING TOURNAMENT RESULTS
A 32 inch Northern PIKE wins the LOTP ICE Tournament top Price 10,000.
2#) $5000
3#) $2000
And a whole lot of other really good prizes!
Only 13 fish caught for the whole tournament really thought more fish should have been caught but i think it maybe was cause of the time of the ice derby, I just wish the Tournament could have been from 11.00 - 7:00 Pm... So every one could have got in on the evening BITE!! Then we would have seen alot fish on the ice!! Anyways it Still was a SUPER Time with some good fish CAUGHT HATS off to all the lucky ANGLERS That Ranked!

Rockford angler Tom Healy hooks 41-pound brown trout that shatters state record by Aaron Ogg | The Grand Rapids Press Thursday September 10, 2009, 1:50 AM Tom Healy holds the 41-pound, 7-ounce, 43.75-inch-long brown trout he caught while fishing for salmon on the Manistee River on Wednesday. It awaits verification by world record keepers as the largest ever caught. ROCKFORD -- Tom Healy floated along the Manistee River in Manistee County on Wednesday morning hoping to hook a few salmon, but the longtime fisherman's fate was much weightier. The 66-year-old Rockford man wrangled with a 41-pound, 7-ounce, 43.75-inch-long brown trout for 15 minutes before hauling it into his boat. The fish breaks the species' state record and awaits verification by world record keepers as the largest ever caught. "When we hooked it, we knew it was a big fish," Healy said. "How big, we didn't realize." Officials with the state Department of Natural Resources' fisheries division Wednesday checked out the monstrous grab and said it meets all guidelines as Michigan's new champion. "This is one of the most amazing fish I've seen in my life," said Todd Kalish, fisheries supervisor for the Central Lake Michigan unit, "a real testament of the world class fishery Michigan provides. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing for someone like that." Healy, 15-year fishing buddy and East Grand Rapids resident Bob Woodhouse and guide Tim Roller of Cadillac-based Ultimate Outfitters caught some salmon before hooking the big one near the Bear Creek access point. Healy said the fish tried to jump a couple times, but he was able to wrestle it in open water with his Rapala Shad Rap lure and Cabela's rod and reel. "The reality of it is, I was pretty doggone lucky," Healy said. "It's just one of those things." The previous brown trout state record of 36 pounds, 13 ounces was set in 2007 by Casey Richey near Frankfort Harbor. The current world record is held by Howard Collins, who caught a 40-pound, 4-ounce brown trout in the Little Red River in Arkansas in 1992, according to the Florida-based International Game Fish Association and the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame & Museum in Hayward, Wis. Healy said he plans to contact the IGFA to try to claim the record. "I'm a guy who generally practices catch and release," he said. Since Healy retired as president of Grand Rapids-based construction firm Owen-Ames-Kimball Co. nearly five years ago, he's been able to devote more time to his love. His trips include perusing the Bahamas for bonefish and hitting the Florida Keys for tarpon. He generally travels to the same spot on the Manistee River to pursue steelhead in October and November. Photographs, mounted pieces and replicas of trophy fish line his basement and office areas. "I'm a fisherman at heart," he said. His latest catch sits in a Manistee taxidermist's shop awaiting work. It likely will end up on his living room wall because there's not enough room in his office, he said. "I'm a guy who believes if you put your line in the water, you've got a five-times better chance than if you keep it in the boat" Healy said. Press Outdoors Editor Howard Meyerson contributed to this report.

I like fishing for halibut and ocean fish but jigging walleye near evening on a calm lake is a close second Rainbow trout on the fly is always a treat..
