98% of the time, I am catch and release. I kept my first trout this weekend and ate it. SO that blew my 100% catch and release record! OK... let's change that... make it 95% of the time I will release it. If it is one of my trophy sizes, it's coming home with me for my wall!!

For a brown trout, a trophy to me would be 20 inches or more.

As far as a largemouth bass goes... a "mounter" would be 10 pounds.

Skin or replica....  I am not quite sure yet!  I have always said skin, but am changing my mind.  For now I just take pictures. I love to take pictures, especially of the fish I catch.  I have included pictures of the fish, some of me fishing, a few of my family, and some of my nature photography.

The links below have some of my pictures.  For more pictures you can also visit my Photo Gallery.
