WORLD record brown trout!

A COLOSSAL brown trout eclipsing the current world record of 42lb 1oz has been recorded from a canal in New Zealand.

The incredible fish measured 44lb 3oz on the scales and was taken on a spinner from the Mackenzie Hydro Canals, located near to the South Island town of Twizel.

Its captor, who’s requested to be referred to as Seamus from Turangi, decided to keep the prized trout and donate it to the local Razza Bar and Bistro to be stuffed and hung up proudly next to the bar’s other mammoth catches on display – including trout of 38lb 2oz and 38lb 9oz.

The world record brown trout at 44lb 3oz - what a monster!
