    I got my smally back I caught at Mille lacs last year over christmas and I couldn’t be more happy with it…If anyone is looking for a good taxidermist I highly recommend Artistic Anglers in Duluth…

    23.5″ I never got the girth measurement (wasn’t planning on getting a replica until an hour after she swam away ha)

    Nice fish! X2 on Artistic Anglers. Not trying to steal your thread just wanted to show another example of the great work that Artistic Anglers does.

    Awesome fish! At 23.5″ in December that would most likely have been a state record

    I’m a bass guy and if that is a 23.5″ smallie which I’m sure it is… that is the BIGGEST smallie I’ve ever seen!

    That is a MONSTER!!!
    I’ve caught a lot of mega Smallies in my life but only one bigger than that @ 24 1/4″… That one is still #1 in the U.P. here and top 5 in Mich…
    Congratulations!!!
