NICE JOB WITH THE FISH WHAT WAS THE RECORD FOR A BROOKIE UP THERE YOU MAY HOLD THE RECORD WHAT A HOG SLOB BROOKIE THAT BROOKIE IS TRUELY AMAZING GREAT CATCH
I went to Labrador with 5 friends, flew out of Goose Bay to a place called Crooks Lake we were the only camp on the lake and a good sized river ran out of the lake. That's where we fished most of the time. The only fish there were Brookies and Northerns and it was barbless hooks only and we were only allowed to bring one fish home. We ended up with 5 Brookies that were almost identical 24" and 6#'s and one 5#er. Paul De Angelo mounted mine before he left for Alaska and one of my friends made a glass case with oak trim to sit atop a custom made oak bookcase that I have. As yours was that was my trip of a lifetime having dreampt of monster Brookies since reading Field & Stream when I was a young man. I also caught a monster Northern on a fly rod in the lake trolling a large streamer fly. Congratulations on the beautiful Brookie.Peddler
Any possibility you could post a picture of the mount in the glass case. Just like to look at other mounts as this is what I do for a living.
Hey Taxid, this is the guy, paul deangelo. He does some very good work, especially with salmonids. His airbrush work is nothing short of spectacular. I have three fish on the wall done by him. Only thing I don't like is that with salmonids, he always tosses the real head and uses a fake. Guess he really hates skinning trout and salmon heads....can't blame him http://www.deangelofishart.com/two steelies and a walleye done by deangelo
