The photo doesn't do it justice as the actual mount looks short and fat..The man did measure though and it's 25 inches...he has the end of the bass sticking out in front to giveiot character but in the photo...LOL I'm not seeing it..
Thde rod abouve her is an antique still rod with a 1943 Pflueger baitcaster on it...I have a skin mount done by the same man in 1983 That bass was also 25 inches but only 7 pounds,,,I had caught in off the shore while on my way to church..It was my first cast..the bass was hung up in hydrilla..I waded out in 3 foot of weeds to get my bass in my Sunday church outfit..LOL
Summary..looks much better as the real deal
Herels the 7 pounder and 10 pounder together..
