My goal is to catch a two pound redear and mount it. I figure a two pound redear in Southern Indiana is a trophy fish, I might even mount a 1.5 or so pounder depending on the fish itself. I figured I spent over five hundred dollars this summer in pursuit of this fish, probably closer to a thousand dollars to be honest. I caught a couple of redears right at a pound and about 11 inches long, so it's going to be really tough to get this fish. I figured this fish would be at least 12.5-13.5 inches long and probably six or seven years old. It's been a lot of fun trying to catch this fish, I'll spend another 500-1000 next summer trying to land this elusive redear. It's a fun goal of mine and it keeps me focused. This pursuit is done on public waters too, not private ponds where it would be much easier accomplished IMO.
