Bassfshin24...you didn't play softball in Roseville this summer did ya? Random question, but I subbed a few times for my buddy Jake, and you look like a dude on the team.

[bassfshin24]

haha yeah that would be me. what was your name again...i cant tell from the pic.

[MN BassFisher]

Haha I thought I recognized some of your earlier pics but didn't think much about it. Then your most recent ones I was pretty sure I had it figured out. Don't worry I forgot yours too, my name is Mitch, Jake Johnson called me a few times. Woulda played more but I also was in a league Monday nights.

Summer is almost over, I was looking through my winter fishing pics. Looking forward to cold weather again.

[carpmanjake]

do i even need a story?

other than back in fergus... one last big fishing trip to end the summer. only got a couple during the day...

but at night...

the ottertail river is coming ever so close to being a trophy smallie fishery, just like the DNR has been trying to make it!

Decided to take a break from walleye fishing 2 weeks ago and throw some buzzbaits

[Deitz Dittrich]

Nice fish Jake.. welcome back Sleddie!!!

[bassNspear]

nice looking fish!

[carpmanjake]

i was told by some people who work at the local baitshop, who i showed the pictures to, that i should get replicas made..

im not sure though. are smallies like that worth getting mounted?

just to show the length of them...

that would have been a bit over 20". measured when i got home the next day.

im just wondering if smallie mounting size is the same as largemouths. 22 or better?

[goldie11]

my dads biggest of the season

[Deitz Dittrich]

Goldie.. got any measurements on that? It looks all of 20" and 5+ from the pict.. But really hard to tell..

no matter what, give him a high 5 from me.. good fish!!!

[Deitz Dittrich]

Jake-- any fish that has memory and you have a personal attachment to you is worth getting a replica.. For me, I prefer a pict.. get it blown up/the pict that is.. you then have a memory of what you were wearing your age ect..

As for size.. man, really hard to say.. a 20+ in smallie is a true trophy.. my biggest of my life is 6lbs 4oz, and was 21".. But was in the spring.. it was sooooooooo long ago, my recent biggest has been about 21" but only 5lbs.. But again, a trophy is what you make of it..

I get angry when people dog others trophys.. I have one mounted fish.. One.. its one my dad caught.. and it was his first ever milfoil flipped tonka fish.. I have more memory about that fish as it was the day we figgured that out.. Got the ah-haaaa moment.. the fish is only 5 lbs.. but every bit worth mounting. It has memory. it meant a lot to my dad, meant a lot to me. I have seen awesome 3 lb smallie mounts. Its all up to whom its worth.
