10lb bass caught on public lake on Jefferson Forest

First off, I don't keep and mount bass. Not that I catch any true hogg. LOL

Anyway, I've seen a ton of replicas and have never seen one that looks any more realistic than "Billy Bass". In fact, Billy looks alot more realistic. Replicas are a joke. Having said that, what's so wrong with getting some good pics of that trophy fish? That'll be just as good as any mount.

What's wrong with pics? I have seen pics of the Grand Canyon. Not the same as actually seeing the real thing. Much more impressive in person. Mount away fellas!

I prefer not to mount but if somebody wants to mount their fish I have no problem with it. It's a personal decision. But, like I said, replicas look like crap. I've NEVER seen one worth a flip.
