A stunning Xanthic Mayan Cichlid is going home to Michigan. Native to the Atlantic slope of Central and South America the Mayan Cichlid found its way to South Florida in the 1980’s. This beautifully colored fish has become a favorite for anglers as it willingly takes natural bait along with artificial flies.

A unique trophy went home with Quintin Wyandt. Quintin and his brother-in-law were bow fishing when this northern snakehead appeared. These fish are from Eastern Asia and have found there way into our local waters causing concern from the Fish and Game Commission . If caught or shot, they are not to be released back into the water as they are considered invasive. Great work guys in doing your part to control the population.

A few trophies went home this afternoon and back in the possession of the lucky anglers. Congratulations Daven and Kendra Ann on your trophy trout!. 3 palominos, 1 rainbow and 1 brown trout restoration.

Kendra’s largest palomino was 21” long and appeared to have been a target for a predator but in the end it ended up on Kendra’s stringer. Daven caught a beautifully colored palomino and rainbow. The brown trout was caught years ago and needed an overhaul so I gave it a facelift. As you can see Daven had me mount all the fish on a common piece of large driftwood which he found on a local river. The large male rainbow in the middle of the mount was caught years ago by Daven’s grandfather and it certainly holds a special place in Daven’s heart. Now he’s after a trophy brook and tiger trout to round out the Pa slam.

Great work folks and thank you for trusting me with your trophies!

Congratulations Josh Thomas on this unique trophy! Some may say a gar is not a fish to mount but after working on this fish I would disagree. The color on this fish was spectacular! Josh was bow hunting in Virginia when this beast appeared in front of him in the water. Once in hand he knew he wanted it on the wall.
