I stand corrected! That is for sure a beautiful fish for Neely! The biggest I pulled from Neely was 2.98 lbs and my cutoff for a mount was 3 lb. It was released. If I get that one over 3, it is going on the wall as yours is. I am not into replica's, just not the same to me. I release enough big fish every year to justify taking the one 3 lb'er out.
