[QUOTE="JayKay, post: 218769, member: 324"] FWIW, I caught a nice big fat tagged 32 incher. I have to believe that that fish had been caught before. So, to whomever let it go before, thank you. I returned the favor. I got no beef with skin mounts, and I have no trouble with people killing a fish to put it on their wall. As far as the replica not being the exact same fish that I caught, I couldn't care less. I'm not proving how tough I am by killing it, or how bleeding heart I am by letting it go. Nor is anyone going to put a tape up to the replica, then look at me funny, saying "this replica is an inch smaller than the real thing? How can you live with yourself?". I've caught and released a bunch of 25", some 27" and a 29.5" before this one came along. I have been waiting for a 30 for a long time. Regarding the price of a replica versus a skin mount, I consider neither to be a necessity. Like a corvette, or a big boat, they're something the guy wanted. Like someone said above, different strokes. [/QUOTE]
