I think MI record was broken in 2009 on the Manistee River. 41#+

That record (world) was broken last year with a Brown from Wisconsin.

It was a catch and release. I'm not sure how they could certify the weight. Maybe different category for catch and release.

It's actually been broken twice but officially only once. Roger Hellen caught a 41lb 8oz brown out of Lake Mi on the wisconsin side last year. Fish has to be 2oz or better to knock out the existing record.

This spring a guy in New Zealand caught a 42lb 1oz fish. It was offically recognized by IGFA this summer

Previous photo is the catch and release record and yes it's a different category

from what I've been able to find out it is a new ohio state record caught off Geneva ohio and weighed in at 14.675 lbs. this isn't anywhere near the 41.8 fish caught out of lake Michigan. but its a nice brown for lake erie. and im still not sure about the facts, this is just what I've heard.
