It has long been a dream of mine to catch a bass big enough to mount on my wall. And dont grt me wrong, I still have that desire to catch one like that, but with the advent of smartphones, the ability to get life like replicas based on weight, length, and girth, and thee preservation of quality fish, I no longer wish to catch a live fish just to have it die to put on my wall. Now that we can take photos on the spot, and get life like replicas made, we can let these beauties go back and reproduce to keep the population going strong, and even for another angler to catch d own the road when it is potentially bigger. I have my doubts ill ever get into one over 4lbs, but if I do, a simple photo will do just fine. If I could think of it, getting the length, girth, and approximate weight measurement (no one scale is 100% spot on in my opinion) for a replica would be icing on thr cake. Of course nothing really wrong with taking a fish and mounting it, but conservation is one thing I will take I to thought.

That is a great bass and all, but I do believe I like the outfit much more than I like the fish!  Killer threads!

lol thanks, that was after the morning deer hunt
