I have had some Stripers mounted and Largemouth caught in Fla..And have caught some nice Smalljaws on Cherokee F and F.But i wouldn't have the heart to have one mounted .They are the cream of the crop as far as Bass go and are the best fighting fish on the lake pound for Pound. I think it would a sin to take one home in my eye's and one of the best water to catch them in east Tn.is the Chucky River ..YANK
