Awesome looking combo and nice fish as well!

Wow, A fish to match the beauty of your combo. Both are keepers.

Oh no, absolutely not. It was actually more rewarding releasing her alive and well. I did get her length/girth (28 long and 20 1/4 girth) for the replica! Im sure G's comment was just a figure of speech... Follow the link to see the release vid!

Thanks again everbody!!

I don't get why people want to keep a fish these days. People can make some amazing replica mounts with just the pictures and measurements.

Great fish!

I agree! What I find suprising is how common it seems to be here in TX. Maybe not common but I see enough folks say they kept a lunker to either eat or mount that it definitely seems that way. The people I hear keep them are usually bass fisherman to. Makes more sense if it were a crappie guy fishing for dinner but hooked a hawg by accident!

Just because its legal doesnt make it right.

*edit* my above observations are based off discussions I see on a TX forum... so, as with all things forum related, take it with a grain of salt!

Hell no, never have kept a trophy fish, back into the water. That said they're always with me. Should have worded that better.

Thats the down side, It was $720 shipped. Cant find them any cheaper due to their availability.

Thought i would revive this thread with all the recent interest in this rod... give some eye candy to those interested!
