    Not bad for a 7 year old. We decided to get it mounted since that was his first. And not a bad one at that. Kid is darn proud and so is dad.

    Congrats Brad! I bet he's hooked for life, no pun intended.

    It's a LM, with a rather interesting paint job IMO.

    Looks like a pretty darn good and natural looking paint job on a LM to me. Most guys go way overboard on the markings for LM.

    This is what the fish looked like alive. I think they did a pretty good job.

    I agree. I think they look fake when they over exaggerate the painted markings on the side and gills. Congrats to your son, and kudos to you for making it a lasting memory for him.
