Davetclown,
Yep, we have the picture framed and hanging in his room. A great taxidermist in Okla. mounted the State Record for him too. However it's in a coffee table at his house. Dad's 83 now and his Parkinson's disease has really taken a toll on him in the last six months. I was able to take him fishing this last Fall on that same lake where he caught it, & we both had a great time. However, I don't think he'll ever be up to it again. I bet he's asked me a dozen times in the last two weeks if I can remember when he caught his big bass. He likes to sit and talk about the good times he and Mom had in that little boat I gave them. I don't think he'll be able to catch many more big bass, but he still catches that one everyday, over and over. That's why I made the life-size print to hang in his room here at my house. It gives him a little bit of home and the good times to remember each time he looks at it.
