I put this on the main page - but thought I'd repost it here for my IL buds..

Okay - so I know it's not a crappie - but figured you guys would enjoy seeing this.

I went up to Beaver Dam State Park to kill a couple hours and see if I could remember how to catch trout.. Third fish of the morning was this cool looking Palomino. Some call them Goldens, but a true golden comes from select high mountain lakes in CA. (I know, cause a buddy use to hike out there every year to catch those little 8" monsters) haha

Anyway - I"ve never even SEEN one, let alone catch one - so it's getting mounted (probably a graphite replica)
