Jake - I definitely think a 20' is worth mounting, but its up to you. Keep this in mind: In North Dakota a proud angler is 3lbs. In South Dakota its 18inches. Your fish beats both easily. I have relatives that have Smallie mounts of 18" 4.4 lbs. and 19" 4.7 lbs. Throw one of those puppies on a scale for us too! One of those has to be 4.5 easy. Those smallies fight like mad!

they did fight like crazy, but sadly i didnt get the full effect of the fight becuase i was using heavy line and a tight drag to keep them out of the snags.

i will be talking to my dad. a few years ago, he promised to mount any crappie over 2lbs. any walleye over 10. any largemouth over 6. any pike over 20. etc.

and i will make him go through with his word with at least a couple of my fish that fall into those catagories. lol. he is gonna have quite a bill!

I have a 2010 XB21 2+2 (4 seater) w/250 Pro XS. Boat weight is 1400lbs, 2 man + full gear, live well and you'll get about 1800-1900lbs. Holeshot is about 2 seconds. Planes at 20mph b/c of the Allison patent skid planner. 2 man + full gear will still top out at 90mph. 1 man + full gear, low 90's. I carry a lot of gear, 20+ rods, lots of tackle and this is the only Allison model I would recommend for fishing. The XB21 BasSport is designed specifically for fishing and rough water. 93" Beam and very stable plateform. Since it planes at 20mph, it is very fuel efficient. The thing I couldn't believe was a 21ft bass boat fits in my standard size 24ft garage??? Love it! grin

Other Allison models XB2002 & XB2003, Prosports and other Mfg., Strokers and Bullets are very fast boats. With the right setups they can easily do 100mph +. However, they are very light and would not be good fishing rigs in my opinion. XB2003 1100lbs, XB2002 800-900lbs, Stroker 1200lbs, Bullets 1175lbs. Advantage of having a heavier boat is so you can spear waves and while trolling, you don't get blown around in the wind.

I've been searching and comparing for the past 3yrs. I've learned a lot about boats and its history. Allison holds a lot records and patents. Boat industries today owe a lot to Allison. One for example, the skid planner, SS prop and when Ranger first started their company, their first mold they purchased was from Allison.

Anyway, I can go on but here's one thing for sure. As long as you're fishing in a boat, it sure beats standing from shore. Having a boat helps you cover more water and from shore you can't tell if people are waiving at you or giving you the finger.
