Been a couple years since I last posted in this forum so thought I'd post a short updated video of our replica mounts since I originally posted the Laker. Not all are PB catches, a couple just were done for the memory of the moment.
First up in the video is the Lake Trout I had done. It is to date still my PB and was caught while still living in North Bay. It was caught through the ice at the stepping stones in the narrows between Trout and Turtle lake.
Next up is a 20.5"/5lb-2oz PB Smallmouth from Trout Lake along with a 19.5"/4lb-3oz Largemouth caught through the ice on Wasi Lake. Next is a 7lb Coho caught while trolling off the Five Fingers Islands in Nanaimo,BC with my Grandfather. Next is a 28 5/8"/8lb-8oz Walleye I caught ice fishing at the Manitou's on Nip. followed by my PB Northern Pike caught ice fishing last year at Bronson Lake in Saskatchewan, the fish measured 40"x 22 5/8" and tipped the scale at 21lb-7oz and lastly is my PB Chinook Salmon taken while casting spoons along the shoreline of Lake Ontario in spring, it weighed 28.0lbs and measured 38" in length. All the fish were caught and released with the exception of the Coho, my Grandfather was not a C&R guy and that Coho was the biggest ever boated in all his years retired and fishing the waters around Vancouver Island. All replicas were done by Advanced Taxidermy in Caledon, Ontario.
