His reason for keeping it is that he's proud of it and wants to get it mounted and that's by a long ways a good enough reason


Exactly the reason many species of animals have been eliminated from this earth since the history of mankind.

He should be proud just to be able to fish.

Yea

And the highly regulated largemouth bass is going to disappear off the face of the earth because of the amount of 7+lb bass that get stuck on somebody's wall.

Sonuvabitch. A man can't be proud of shite around here without somebody jumping his shite for something.

You are correct, however there's not really any need to keep the fish just so the taxidermist can stretch it's dried skin between the mold and the paint. Too bad they don't have the program like Caddo Lake that gives you a free replica for releasing the bass. I wish more Louisiana lakes had it besides just the ones along the Texas border.

ETA:typo

Yea

And buffalo are roaming rampantly throughout the US.

Toledo Bend once offered a free replica of bass over 10lbs. when caught and released.

All they need is photos and measurements.

OP has both.

But congrats to him on the bass, no one ever catches 9+ lbers.

Everyone is happy for the guy, no doubt it's a beautiful fish.
The other posters are just making a very valid point. They began doing replica mounts so that these beautiful fish can be released back into the fishery to grow and spawn. Period.
I don't have much of a problem with keeping large bass to make a skin mount, but when the guy comes and brags ab harassing her on her bed 3 days straight and then ab how she's full of eggs, then of course he's gonna catch shite from people on here.

So now its unethical to keep after game until you bag them.

I'd love your take on hunting over deer feeders.

I'm not getting into it. If you don't agree with what he did, congratulate him and move on.

There are places other than where a man is bragging about his catch to discuss that stuff. The man caught a fish and did nothing illegal and he's proud of it and wants to show it off. No need to piss on his parade.

You're obviously a dumbass sir. I was referring to him harassing her on her bed , not by simply removing her from the water. Now GFY you toothless hillbilly.

I have caught 1 bass over 9 and she hangs on my wall and will be the last trophy bass I mount. I've caught multiple 7s since and happily released them

Shut the frick up!

If the guy wants to keep a trophy I will never be the one to put him down. This is why we do what we do.
