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.   :bash:

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
