Hahahahaha Good looking mount man!
If anybody wants to prosecute, I'll take the a couple hits! I have killed probably 100's of future double digit fish in my lifetime, maybe even some world records!
Before you jokes start bashing a guy, do your research on how lakes work. If more people took bass home the lakes would benefit from it!
PS, and I'm not an aquatic biologist, but do speak bass, and have stayed at a Holiday Inn express

I was fishing Fork a few years ago during the spawn and these two guys down from New Jersey had deep hooked a 5lber or so. It was bleeding pretty bad and they asked me if I knew of a vet anywhere close. Just sayin

I have two skin mounts that were made long time back. 20-30 years. Back then a skin mount was about all we had. If there were replicas they were not of good quality or the only mount you could get was with the mouth shut and no gills showing. I never felt bad about my mounts. Today, I would get a replica and save the fish, but I will not get down a some one just because they skin mounted a fish. If he is happy with it, it is his choice.

Great looking fish, Fish Scales did an awesome job. Of the two fish I have on the wall my skin mount actually looks better. F-S did a replica for me last year and it is awesome. Just more detail in the fins on a skin mount. Congrats and enjoy your fish.
Tracy, you need to boat up with me next time I make a meat run for a fry. Love them 2-4 pounders for filets.
Catch em, kiss em, let em go

MR Lee,
I am pretty sure you are a miserable person. I also think you fish to try to compare your man hood and toot your own horn.
This man was proud of his trophy and all you can do is create a debate out of his accomplishment.
I kind of wish you would go CRAB fishing and pass them along to your partner!
My Best,
JRJ

What if the fish was gut hooked and died? What if it wasn't gut hooked and died? Did the guy break any laws?
I'm as much of a conservationist as the next guy. But who the heck are we to tell a guy what to do with HIS fish? Or to try and shame a guy who made the choice that he wanted a skin mount?
For the life of me I don't understand why, when someone posts a catch they are proud of, some bass tree hugger comes along and tries to rain on their parade!

JJ, or is it Dr. Phil? Anyway, you're a little late to the party, and it's probably a good thing, because you sir obviously are the type that sits in your mother's basement playing video games dreaming about the next time you get to go bank fishing for anything that'll bite. See, you're not the only one that can point fingers.

What about this dude^^^^^^^^^
I have heard that Rap Trap is one of the greatest anglers ever to venture into the "RIVER". He will put all the long time anglers of that area to shame with his "MASSIVE CATCHES". At the end of the day all the long time anglers will be dragging tail to their mommas and crying about all the pressure that "THEIR" area is recieving because of his "MASSIVE CATCHES"!
The only thing I question is..... What is WHY's daily TFF handle and why does he have to hide behind closed doors?
Nice Fish and Mount Rap! Looks good!
