what an awesome fish...where was it caught and how big is it?

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I charge 15.00 an inch for skin and 21.00 an inch for replicas, I make a small base depending on the fish, usually driftwood or something similiar. If there is a request for some larger or other type of habitat I charge extra.

Thank you

Do you know what lake in WI?  I have caught many hundreds in a couple lakes and rivers near where I grew up.  Green Lake on the Ripon side holds some absolute monsters.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

That is a nice fish but I never have understood the whole bend the fish in a position that is completley unnatutural thing. :dunno: The quality looks very good from the pic though. :twocents:

Rasbo,

It is a left turn pose, a lot of people like that pose instead of a straight on mount, with this pose it displays the head, and tail away from the wall. I enclosed a little video found on you tube go to the 18 second mark and stop it, I love that strike position the pike did.
