my pond brown trout fish mount caught sept 17 2017
i put this under fishing reports because it was caught in a pond and was pictured in my post. told members i was going to have it mounted and lots wanted me to post it here. so here is my christmas present that ed barber promised me i would get it by christmas and it became true today. an outstanding job by ed who is also a forum member (reel fun) hope everyone likes it as i do.

What an incredible fish! You really got into some nice browns. I can't wait to get back to the ADK ponds in the spring.

Nice fish Matt! Beauty of a mount...skin or replica? Always exciting when a monster explodes out of a puddle! Had a similar experience a few years ago down here in Vernon in a little reclaimed trout pond/old hatchery pond maybe 4 acres in size. The state nearly drained the entire pond in the spring to fix the spill way and had it full again by late summer. Thinking there couldn't possible have been much for fish left I took my 5 year old daughter at the time over to gig frogs and catch crayfish for a tasty meal. Being the way we fisher people are!!! I brought a rod along, my ole stand by 7' ultra light spooled with 4# flouro. Had a # 6 hook on her with no weight and speared the head of a third of a crawler threw the nose....and chucked her out 40' or so and stuck the but in the rocks. There she sat for a while while I childishly played in the water with my best friend! In all the comoshin of water splashing and frogs croaking I heard a noise and peared over twords my set up...and it was getting dragged rapidly into the water! Jumping to our feet and diving for the rod we came up with it out of 3' of water. I handed the rod to my daughter and coached her threw an epic battle of dancing spots and flapping jaws and within a couple minutes a 26" hump backed hook jawed brown law at our feet! Pure excitement and all smiles we carried out our bag of bull frogs crayfish and 6#s of brown!!! I have 35 mm photo some where and may have replica produced for my girls wall at some point. All in all Matt congrats and thanks helping aid in the revival of "my pond brown trout" memory! A. White

that is a skin mount. really glad you shared your memory that is one awsome memorie. much like i had with my 7 year old granddaughter this summer. thanks for sharing it. i used to go frog hunting and crayfish also really brought back memories. the adirondack pond i caught these browns in has very deep water in the section i was fishing 43 fow on shore almost straight down filled with big rocks. just out from shore its 83 fow.
