Nice mount Joe! Looks like that class is already paying off. Good job!

Thanks guys, and yes that class is already paying off. So much learned there. Still trying to digest it all....

It looks great Joe....

I caught a 5 1/4 pounder (scale weight) years ago in southern BC that I am trying to remember the measurements from, I think I wrote them down somewhere if I can find it. It was a lot darker but I could probably find a picture on the internet that looks similar for color. I have pictures too somewhere but with 5 big boxes of photos it could take a week to find the pictures.   

I was sight fishing in shallow water and threw the spoon right to it, watched it hit as the lure slapped the water, it was awesome. Have always wanted to get a replica of that fish and a few others.

Dale,

Being darker is not even a problem. There are a lot of color phases to smallies. That one was painted to look like a Lake Erie smallie, they are more bronze,gold lighter colored than the ones on the west coast.

Where I buy the replicas from they have
left turn 19 x15   5.1 pounds
right turn 20 x15.5  - 5.3 pounds


thanks
Joe
