That's a fantastic fish Brad
Are you going to frame that popper now that it has retired?

Why retire
Brad why retire the Popper. I thought the reason they are so pricy is they are tough. Sure it might have a few dings and no pain, but craft shops have some amazing acrylics that could bring it back to a remarkable life once more. Or is there other damage?

Has too much sentimental value now, accounted for some good fish and raised some absolute STOINKERS!!!
have plenty more, just dont want to loose it, allready lost it once and got lucky
is a little damaged as you would expect but still works fine
just might put it in a frame like colin suggested, and attach a couple of the horse GT's it has accounted for
i have a new favourite now, Fisherman bigmouth HP tail
it is the next popper to be destroyed

Top fish Brad...well done.
Put the lure in a clear resin block mounted on a polished Jarrah board. Would look mintox on the bar or wherever.

i notice that you have turned the boat
away from the island for the pic
good move or it could turn into rosily cays.We used to go all the time and see no one now it gets hammered.Good fish by the way would have put up a good account for itself .
So tell me have you got your info from years on the water or hours on the internet?
