I won the Horne Pond Derby!(Pics)
« on: Jan 30, 2017, 07:57 AM »
First flag of the day ended up being the winner. This was my first ever brown trout! I guess some people were questioning its belly so I was asked to cut her open. As soon as I started to cut, the eggs started to gush out. I felt terrible at first, but the warden told me that the fish clearly was not able to drop its eggs and it probably would of died by spring time. I plan on having a replica made of it. Does anyone recommend any places? I have already reached out to Carlson's Taxidermy, waiting on a price quote.

Wasn't me.  Have only been up there once, like 11 years ago and have never fished the derby.  Would like to make a return trip sometime though... :)

Is that one of the tagged fish they release for the tourney? It looks so odd with that softball belly, must have had a plugged gasket. Good job!

Wow, congrats to the success!  That belly is odd for sure, but yea they do get egg bound and usually don't make it.

Congrats.  Did it have any plastic worms inside the gut ?
You really want a replica of that ? You are bound to get more attractive ones.

The game warden said it was because she couldn't pass her eggs.

Replicas can be for unique animals as well, this def qualifies for that. I don't blame him, especially a derby winner
