Dang Scott I'm sorry; I should have voiced my admiration as well; that is a nice fish. I got sidetracked by the season comment.

 Thanks Slip Sinker, Jeff,  And great fight is rite. I can't tell you how many times I said please stay on the line. And best of all I was on the shore, at 10:30 at night.. I remembered the time very well, I should have been home at 9:00 and it was going to be the last cast. Jeff I'm the Taxidermist (Wildlife artist).

For smallies, obviously. We have one here for sea run stripers, but only trout in certain waters have seasons inland.

They have a bass season?

pretty much matches my personal best... what great fighters!... caught mine out of season so no master angler patch.

Beautiful trophy Smallie Scott!  Congrats man!  Being a retired fish taxidermist myself, I gotta ask, if you don't mind, who was the wildlife artist that did this wonderful job?
