Thats why yours was the exception Superfluke... and now after I've reread I did forget to mention the largemouth. But a 5lb'er? Even in northern states, there are bigger caught a lot more often then some may think.
But atleast you want a replica and not the real fish.

A good one will cost you alot, probably around 500+. Saltwater fish are even more expensive, into the 1000's for my dads tarpon. I agree with 02, unless its some big event or a record or something, its a waste.

Also, look at garage sales. Sometimes you can pick up a not-so-bad mount for about 20 bucks.

Another reason why I'm getting my fish done is because I'll have a 8 largy and a 8 smally right next to each other

I got my 12 pound 14 ounce skin mount done for less than $300.00, I think it was, but I was always sorry I didn't get a replica done and let the fish go.
