Thats the 9.85 bass I got mounted. I did not keep this one and the guy who did it from advanced messed it up. It on my wall looks more like a 7 or 8 lbs bass and the measurements were off. I paid 600 for it, complained and made the guy give me the new price at 250. I went back to get my 3 smallmouth done and I got them done for 350.
Thanks for sharing A/C your mount looks great from here we don't have anybody capable of making a replica here in Thunder Bay & I think it's a good idea!
 
If only the length and girth was a bit bigger from what he made it I would have been happier. He cut about 3 inches in length and I haven't measured the girth to verify but it is actually smaller than what we had asked for.

Yea Rice Lake, 4 years ago now. I will never forget first sight of the bass. Amazing experience for myself and my brother.

Thats why next time you get a custom made replica...that looks much better and last much longer...that mount doesn't look like a replica mount...a 9.85lbs bass in rice and you kept it....for a mount? lol It's ok to brag about this on here. I wouldn't do it around tournament anglers...They would mount you up on the wall in their garage! lol
 
I did release the bass. Nobody can really tell me otherwise. The replica I have actually is very well detailed and well worth the money...
