Ok I need an opinion on this idea?
« on: May 14, 2010, 03:59:06 PM »
I have a 14-15 lb steelhead mounted, and a 27-28 lb striper mounted.

A. Would it be lame/stupid to mount a 15+ lb bluefish ?

B. Would you mount another striper if you already have one mounted ? And how much would it have to weigh ?

I don't see anything wrong with mounting a 15# bluefish. They are great fighters and would look good in a dead animal room.

For a second striper mount, I would maybe wait till you get that 40#er or better.

My rule for mounting fish is if I feel that I'll never get a bigger one of that species.

It's not stupid...and if you can afford it, who cares if someone else thinks it is stupid!  Just do what you want to do and what you feel is right for you.  If I spent my whole life not doing what others thought was lame or stupid or not fun, I wouldn't do anything.  Then when you do it anyway, you find out there are tons o€f others who enjoy that too.

You can even do a glass mount replica of the fish to save some money, but still have the fish "mounted."
