Here are a few pictures of the 20 lb jake I took. All black in color except for a few buff tipped feathers.

Very good photos. Congratulations on taking one of Mother Nature's rarities. If you're not mounting that guy, you should donate him to a local taxidermist. He'd make a really neat mount.

You're either very petite...or that's the biggest jake I've ever seen!

Congratulations!!

what an awesome trophy!!
melanism is much rarer than albinism, you REALLY should preserve it !

Congrats! Cool looking bird! And huge! 20lbs for a jake?! I'd definitely have a full mount done.
