Nice Eye Rick!  Mounter for sure..Is that your biggest?  You jigging?

I've always said 15# and I'm getting a skin mount.  Thinking I should have lowered that to 13# so I could have a school mounted, lol.  Great fish.  If you didn't mount her, I hope you released her.

Sounds like I need to follow you around MtnMuley! I would love to catch a 13..wow.

We were pulling cranks using snap weights to bounce down on the bottom. 50 ft of line--1oz snap weight--then enough line to feel it start bouncing--then up a couple cranks on the reel to get it just off the bottom--1.75 to 2 miles per hour. It is my biggest but have seen a couple about the same size my brothers caught. Sometimes you get lucky!! I always return anything over 24"but decided to do a skin mount so my guests can view and enjoy her beauty.

Got any suggestions?? Looking for a GOOD fish taxi.. Any help on choosing one would be appreciated!  Any taxi's on this site that are really good on fish let me know...don't be bashful..

If Timbertiger Taxidermy is still around you should check him out. He does good fish work. He was in the Moses Lake - Warden area. I never took a fish there but some of his work is in the Mardon store. Looks great!

I'm not sure what I would do. I caught a 7lber on the arm 2 weeks ago and threw it back. When my buddy pissed himself and asked why, my reasoning was to do my part of keeping them in the waters.  Right or wrong it's not hard to get our fair share of good eating fillets. That's a hog!

I could have caught and KEPT 16 of those hogs according to the WDFW and the Spokane Tribe.....That sucks.......

Gary Blew.. He's one of the best and not just locally anywhere.

where is he located?

[buckcanyonlodge]

Just took the fish in to Garry Blew in Deer Park.  Checked out his mounts and I was sold. A little pricey but this is the only time I'll do this so I am having it done by the best!! He has a National Taxidermist Championship for a smallmouth he did a few years back. Going to be a long wait.
