So I managed to catch myself a really nice bass today. It was just my 2nd 5 lber and 5 lb 4 oz to be exact. When it comes to bass I am a catch and release kind of guy, like many people have said, if im going to eat fish there are crappie and bluegill. I actually take pride in releasing fish and I feel good about doing it.

However, if I catch what I consider to be a trophy fish I am going to mount it. At the same time I hate taking such a beautiful fish from the lake as I would rather let em' get bigger and let someone else catch them. I have heard that you can get your fish dimensions and all the specs and just release your fish. Does anyone have information on this type of taxidermy and is there anyone in Louisville who does this type of work? Any information would be great.

Unfortunately this bass made a trip to Clearwater Taxidermy. Hopefully future bass will be more fortunate!!
