    George ain't it about time you got back out there in the working world. You know the printing business is always needing at least one more good man.

    couldnt fish Monday but in a Cumbeerland county hollow, behind the beagles, I found the above. none of this has a thing to do w/fishing except I had to hunt instead of fish this day..

    inside was over 20 inches,,,, if it wasnt blue tongue then somebody lost the big one of a lifetime.

    Here is a pic of the World Record Smallmouth, it has been retouched a couple of times, but you can tell it is still an old mount. Taxidermy work just wasn't as advanced as it is now back when this one was caught. Added a couple more, last one is me and David Hayes.

    Re: What's the oldest mount?

    I have a 12lb Tiger Muskie, taken from Green River Lake 1985 (4lb mono - el cheapo fiberglass spinning outfit - 1/16oz Roadrunner - "Crappie fishing")
    Also have a 7lb Largemouth, taken from Herrington Lake 1991 (Model 6A Bomber/Firetiger)
    Both mounts were done by Gunner's Taxidermy (here in Lexington) and still look as good as they did from day one.
    Still wanting to mount a 3lb Crappie .. just ain't caught it, yet .... LOL!!
