Chuck,
Glad to hear that. I caught a big Gill when I lived in Jersey. It would
of been a state record if I had it recorded. It was not worth killing
that fish just to have my name in a book. That was 13 years ago. Hope it
lived out it's natural life.

elusive 3-4# Bluegill (we do have 4#'er in Bama on record) then That
is what I'll do too, cause he had to be a tough hombre' to get that
big and live that long, so it won't be ME who kills him.... Chuck

Yes, and if I ever do a mount it will be this way. I have talked
to a couple of Taxidermists and this is the preferred way with them.

Subject: [VFB] Mounting the fish (almost)
My son in Law caught an 8 pound, 12 ounce largemouth two weeks
ago, but released it, cause he wanted to have it mounted, but
didn't think he could afford it.. Plus, it was in a small
private pond we all fish, so maybe we can catch it again when
it's 10-12 pounds... Anyway, he called the taxidermist to ask
about prices, and was told that they can now do it where you
take numerous pics of the fish from all different angles..
Take different measurements etc..and then, take all that info
to the taxidermist and he will "Mount" a fake fish that looks
identical to the one you caught, and he said it would cost
half as much as a real mount would cost.. Anybody else heard
of thisa method???? Chuck
