wild at heart Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Dont worry Joe. With 4 or 5 different speices of browns running around you see some major variations. Chances of getting an Alantic this far south is pretty slim. We had 2 browns that were 8 and 9# in the Brown Blast 4 years ago that you would never of thought were the same species. If fact we thought one was a spring king until we got back in the harbor to take pictures and saw the square tail and white mouth. Gained us some bonus points though.

MoJoRisin' Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Here is a brown we got at 8:30 AM Sunday - 60 FOW Muskegon http://www.greatlakesfisherman.com/gallery/files/2/1/7/0/7-22-12_steve_s_8_lb_brown_sm.jpg' alt='7-22-12_steve_s_8_lb_brown_sm.jpg'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrhookup Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Here's a brown the guy next to me caught off the pier in GH in early May this spring. Long and slender like an atlantic but was the size of a king. It's lighter in color like yours. BTW this thing tipped the scale at 17lbs...in May...and look how skinny it was! Can't imagine what it would have weight in Oct/Nov. The guy quite fishing after he caught it and left to go get it mounted. He had only been there for about 45 minutes too.
