BLKBEARKLR make sure that if you take bucklucky fishing you tie him into the boat.  I am afrad if anything bigger than a 5lbs Bass hits his line it will pull him in.   :chuckle:

No seatbelts, just my arm reaching across and grabbing you and throwing you back down into the seat. Will make sure I get you out there when the waves are small ( less than 4 feet) over that it gets a little bumpy things go flying and you get a little airbourne once in a while.

Damn Charlie you do fish too? Your a regular Taxidermist of all trades!!

I have only done 3 fish , It will be awhile before I get good on them but so far they have looked descent enough.

Right now Im 19 and inch plus TAx
Good looking bass, that takes some dedication.

 Just curious, got a few questions if you don't mind. Do you do other fish besides bass, and would the 19 per inch still apply? I caught what very well could be a fish of a lifetime on saturday and have been mauling over the thought of a repo mount. Fish was carked out that night, and grilled the following night so all I have left is a few photos and memories, In the heat of the moment I didn't take the best pics, but what would you need to get a repo done. I'm not financialy able at the moment, but I do supose the pics will keep for awhile and maybe someday.
Anyhow the fish was an Hawaiian Opah and would this photo be enough to go off of for a mount.

I dont even know if they have a reproduction of that fish. For that one I would have to do some research. Did you take measurements at all like the length and girth?

Yeah thats a problem between all the high 5s and hollering nobody thought about breaking out a tape :bash: or a scale for that matter :'( I have a few other pics and by comparing the pic to the boat deck I could get length and width measurments or at least pretty close, but didn't get a girth.
