She weighed 5lbs, and ya it got back pretty quick I caught her in the middle of september
papajoe222 reply :
Awesome. Is that a skin mount, or a replica?
Catch and Grease reply :
Its a skin mount, there was a darn 17lb bass somebody was getting mounted there... It made this bass look like a minnow haha
Basswhippa reply :
Awesome mount. Any idea which state the 17 pounder came from?

Sadly no... Someone else picked my bass up and he said he didn't ask any questions about where the 17lber came from. I'd like to know if it was caught in one of the local lakes!
BooyahMan reply :
Beautiful looking mount! I need to get measurements if I ever get a nice bass like that in the future. How much does an awesome piece like that set you back?

What doesn't look right? There are a few blemishes here and there but I'm pretty pleased with it overall
Bankbeater reply :
Nice!

Great mount man!
I'm trying to mount a 10lber but I have come within a pound or two 4 different times, can I please get that extra 1 to 2lbs fishing gods? Lol
bighed reply :
Never had one mounted but have considered a fiberglass replica a couple times. Would love to have one in the study!
Sam reply :
Fantastic!
Hope you can hang it up in your den or living room where everyone who visits will see it.
Is the lure hanging out of its mouth?

I think it's the eye, it's just the way the light is hitting it.
Smokinal reply :
That's awesome man! Congrats!
boostr reply :
Nice mount C and G, maybe I'll mount a 3lbr when I ever catch one. The above 2 and a halfers seem to be mythical around here for me.

Nope, I still use that jig! Haha
Ya there is a little paint messed up on the eye, and there is a rough spot on the edge of the gills and one on the tail also if you get close you can see a spot where the scales don't quite line up right. But overall I'm pleased and I like it.
Bassguytom reply :
It looks great! Congrats!
Lunker Addict reply :
That is a really nice looking mount.
Bruce424 reply :
Awe man that's sweet. So jealous
frogfish195 reply :
Good lookin' mount!!
Comfortably Numb reply :
Not sure whats not right. Mouth position or too small of a mouth maybe? Eye too small or too far foward? No belly?
What was the length.
When I lived in Jersey I caught a 4.5# that swallowed a Rattle Trap and was bleeding bad. Was my PB so I had it skin mount made and was not thrilled with results. Expensive too.
Of cours I ended up with a six pounder a few weeks later too.
If I did it again I would take weight and measurments and get a glass mount. Better detail and cheaper.

Catch and Grease reply :
It was a 20 inch bass weighing 5lbs.
And If I catch another big bass 6lbs+ I won't be getting it mounted, even if I catch a 10lber I won't get it mounted. I might take measurements but if anything I'm gonna be getting a replica which wouldn't be likely ethier.
Now if I catch a complete monster then I'll tell you right now I'll get a replica mount made for it!
Catt reply :
Awesome!
In all my years of fishing aint never mounted one

I had a 5# 8oz. Bass mounted and it cost me $32.00...., of course that was in 1982...lol.

Catch and Grease reply :
Now I'm not 100% sure that's what it cost but that's what I think it cost, it was sorta a gift to me so Idk for sure what it cost.
