Finally a trophy bass!

Post by beerman1981 » Sat Jul 02, 2011 6:37 am

Alright guys. I APOLOGIZE. Some may or may not remember me. It's been two or three years since I logged in. Once, I was a regular poster. Things have changed for the good. I bought a house, and am doing all that homeowner stuff! I still fish every chance I get. I finally caught my trophy largemouth after many years of trying. I release every bass, but this one. This one is at the taxidermist, to go on my wall. 6.41 pounds. Edit** camera messed up, so couldn't snap a picture until I got home. I highly recomend Peysers Taxidermy http://www.peysertaxidermy.com/

Edit, Big D added the pic for you:

beerman- No disrespect meant by this question.
Why did you choose to kill the fish and have it skin mounted rather then a replica mount and release the fish. Skin mounts fade and deteriate comared to a replica mount which is solid for life. Once again no disrespect meant just wanted to know why you choose a skin mount over a replica.

No offence taken what so ever. I didn't find out until I got to the taxidermist that there were two options for having a bass mounted. I thought a skin mount was the only option. And like I said, first bass I've kept in like ages. I have a high respect for Washington's bass!
