Don't think I could bring myself to let her go.  I wouldn't have either. Sure hope the big ole girl made it after being released...

You can get replicas. I regret killing mine. She had huge eyes. That was before replicas tho once a bass is over 10 pounds it gets bug-eyed.

Yeah, I'm aware and have seen some nice ones but it'd be more special to me to have that individual fish on the wall. I set my personal benchmark for a mounted bass when I was a kid: 10 pounds. If I ever break it then it'll go on the wall....And just fyi, I don't think any big bass are in danger as I have yet to even break the 6 pound mark!

Can't they do plaster/airbrush taxidermy of fish that looks just as good as using the actual fish these days? I thought they basically just needed several good photos from multiple angles and some measurements and they could "recreate" it pretty damn close?

2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement
3. Taxation Is Theft

I had a guy out of Texas do one for me on that 10-3. Looks really, really good but it took the guy forever and he gave me the runaround for quite some time about when it would be done. Was just about to the point of sending certified mail and it showed up one day.

The bug eyed effect is age related, not size or weight related. I've caught plenty of 10+ that were bug eyed and plenty that werent. Those that weren't bug eyed were all genetically superior younger fish, in great shape, with the potential to get much larger with age.

Oh really abolt? Where did you get your marine biology degree? I have read this explanation many times, but hey. Maybe you stayed at a holiday inn they hadn't.  Very interesting article on bass growth. https://www.bassmaster.com/news/big-old-bass

Oh really abolt? Where did you get your marine biology degree? I have read this explanation many times, but hey. Maybe you stayed at a holiday inn they hadn't. Very interesting article on bass growth. https://www.bassmaster.com/news/big-old-bassJust stating facts derived from being on the water a whole lot while exclusively targeting and catching a whole bunch of 10+ fish, you old coot!  I saw that article when it was first written and agree with everything in it. Funny thing was it confirmed exactly what I was saying. Nothing in it says that all 10 pounders are old and bug eyed. A young 10 lb fish is like a 130" 2 yr old buck in AL. He's a genetically superior specimen. He's the type fish that can get to the mid to upper teens with additional age. Also, it probably did help tremendously that I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last week on business.  When you going to come down and fish with me? I know you said you had arms like a 10 yr old girl now due to your treatments, can you still hang onto a rod when a 10+ tries to rip it out of your hands and take it away from you?
