Wow! Nice job Pat!👍
I had no idea those could get that big.
Did you get it mounted?
Thanks for posting Wayne!

Sal,
He did take all the fish measurements, photos, etc. IF he decided to have it mounted.
For now, it is stored in the freezer.
It will be a see-saw game.
So far, the fisherman is YES,
His loving wife, NO.
They live in a 5,000 sq. foot Montana-Lodge style home in the Reno area - 18' vaulted ceiling. They have plenty of wall space.
I suspect it will be mounted, will keep you informed.
Last fall he and 5 buddies ALL HARVESTED EACH a 6X6 Elk Bull or larger- Each of them in one day in western North Dakota. He handed me a piece of this bull Elk - Elk Rump Roast!!!!!!
Pat is a true outdoorsman.
