So did you keep it to mount it or did you throw her back?

The largest smallmouth for me came out of Dale last month in April....6lbs and just a hair over 21", maybe 21 1/4" max, but I threw it back because if I'm going to mount one I want there to be no doubt in anyone's mind that it's a trophy. And before anyone jumps on me about fiberglass replica's, all I have to say to that is "hogwash". It's not a sin to keep a regulation fish.

If I were you I would have definitely kept the one you caught...Great job!! So enquiring minds want to know, did you keep it or throw it back?
