    Just got the mount back yesterday and had to share a pic. I think it’s an excellent mount and I really like the added shad she’s chasing.
    I caught this jiggin’ in about 30 FOW during November. She buried the hook and was going to be belly up. Measures 31 1/2 with an 18″ girth. My iffy scale indicated 9 lbs 14 oz.
    Always said I’d only mount one, so hoping the 35 inchers show up so I can toss them right back
    Pool 5 rocks!

    Good looking mount, don’t feel bad about mounting a big one. You will enjoy that the rest of your life.

    Nice mount!! It sounds like you made the right decision on a fish to mount. I feel the same way about putting one on the wall. I’ll keep releasing the big ones until I’m in a situation like yours. Unfortunately gut hooks happen from time to time.

    Nice looking mount!

    I’d really like to see what mine turns out like… it’s been at the taxidermist since December of ’05.

    Heard about your mount at work, looks as good as I heard. Has your son been fishing with the “Pro’s” lately? Last I heard he said he was “catching fish and eating chocolates, like being on a luxury liner!” See ya on the river………

    I guess Grandpa’s the real pro…say’s he might have to throw one up on the wall now…if he can catch one…
