Congratulations JB for a trip of a lifetime and breaking the coveted 50 lb. mark for stripers. You look like your 13 years old so you can only imagine how many old salties you've pissed off who have spent countless hours in pursuit of the 50lb mark only to come up short. Lol! A great fish and accomplishment!

One comment about your election to keep the 50 to get a skin mount and please no "FU" comments from anyone since I'm not questioning or opining on JB's decision to do so. I've kept fish for skin mounts in my life and I've also had glass replica's made after getting measurements and taking a picture of the fish. There is absolutely no doubt in the long run skin mounts will deteriorate no matter how you try maintaining them. At least that's been my experience. And as long as you take a picture of your catch, it's amazing what they can do and the detail they can attain with a glass mount. Something I've started doing is to take a picture of the fish, have a glass replica made and go to a trophy store and have them make a nice wooden plaque. I have them engrave the specifics of the catch, date caught, angler and crew names, location, size, weight whatever and have them place the picture underneath glass above the engraved plate. I hang that plaque below the glass mount and 50 years from now it will still look the same as the day I caught it with a picture of the trip itself. I've done this as well with a set of mako jaws attached to the plaque, a picture of the crew below and of the mako hanging at the scales with all the trip and fish information engraved below on a plate. It comes out looking fantastic! Plus you'll have I think even more peace of mind letting the trophy swim away for hopefully another fortunate angler to do the same. Just mentioning it as an alternative for anyone who catches a trophy of a lifetime fish and wants to memorialize that with a mount. Some of the skin mounts I've had done when I was younger unfortunately 30 years later don't look the same or do justice to what the fish looked like when I first caught it! In the end, it's the memory of that day and not just the fish you caught that we want to preserve so the plaque with all the information and a picture of the crew as well as a replica which holds up over the years when we tell these stories to our children and grand children does the trick!

Again congratulations on your epic trip!

Dakota
