In the house.......or NOT 

This winter we will be the proud owners of our first trophy. As we speak the early stages of the mounting process is occurring....and it's not the "mounting" of my choice at all!!

Oh no, we will be mounting a 25lb 2oz shovelhead catfish. Hooray for me. This fish is causing quite a debate in our house...not to mention with the extended family. I am finding myself for the first time deserted, stranded, isolated, lonely on my island of NO FUCKING WAY! I want no part of a dead carcass on the wall of my house! Am I wrong??

This is a great accomplishment for any fisherman. I am so happy for Mike. He has been on cloud nine. He has not had a drink in officially 3 months now....so do I care that he spends money on mounting this fish?? NO WAY! Mount it, love it, own it....but in the garage please. My children would love nothing more than to have a giant (and I mean longer than Preston is tall, and Avery can stand behind it and go unseen completely except for the flip-flops) nasty fish hanging on the wall. And we're talking an ugly fish....not a marlin or a swordfish....a big ole bottom feeder with whiskers as long as my arm. UGH!!

How am I supposed to have a fancy dinner with fancy candles with a big ole mouth gaping open????? EEEEEEWWWWWW
I am struggling with this one...I'm sure I put an adendum to our vows about carcasses on walls....time to get out the video and check.

Help me out with this one, will ya??
