Got my 20 3/4" BWCA Brookie replica back from Artistic Anglers. More than pleased with their work as always! The fish was caught in the spring so it didn't have the awesome colors that some do in the fall but still a cool fish!

looks awesome congrats !

Very Nice!

Looks great..that is a graphite mount right? A beautiful Brook magic!

very nice

Great replica and thanks for releasing the beast and keeping those genes in the pool. How did that fish fight?

I was going to say to stop taking credit for your daughter's fish since she always out fishes you but then remembered she doesn't go on your spring brookie trip :)

Congrats......... great fish.

That turned out awesome! The 2 that I've caught have also been in June and like you said, they don't have the awesome spawning colors they are still beautiful.

Yes, it's a graphite mount.

It is my understanding that these stocked Brookies do not reproduce. They are "put and take" fish but that doesn't change my thinking on releasing what I consider an awesome fish. That 20 3/4"er could be someone's 22"-23" trophy if it lived a couple more years.

The fight was great as the fish grabbed my panther martin about 10' from the canoe. I also caught a 19.5"er the same trip and that one was 3.5lbs...I didn't have the scale with me on the bigger one. The battle reminds me of hooking a quality smallmouth in a river.

Ha! I don't mind getting outfished by the kids. On our trip to Wood lake this year I never wet a line other than from camp before they woke up in the morning. Oh how the times have changed.... :)

They are such a fine and beautiful fish. I much prefer the replicas.

Really nice!! And a future angler (maybe me!) appreciates the C&R.

Life span of a brook trout is 4-7 years.

Very nice.

20 incher great fish, I want one!
