Replica trophy means actual trophy still out there




Bow Narrows angler Ken Conkle recently received his trophy replica of a giant lake trout he caught and released in August, 2009 (the date on his camera wasn't accurate when he took the top photo).


This beautiful laker was 42.5 inches long and weighed 35 pounds!


Ken promptly released the big fish after quickly getting its measurements and the photo.


As you can see from the second photo, his taxidermist made a beautiful replica of the fish and mounted it neatly on a piece of driftwood.


The real fish is still out there in the lake, only now it's even bigger.


Replicas are the ideal way to remember these once-in-a-lifetime moments without killing the actual fish. We want fish like this to pass its genes on to other generations.


Way to go, Ken!
