I know this fish is perfectly legal, and at Williamsport TWRA Lakes the largemouth must be 20" to harvest. I just like to see big girls released so they can reproduce, so we can have more of their genes in the waters. Anymore you can get a replica made to look better than some skin mounts. Carry a camera with you and get a few good pics, carry a measuring device to get the length, cut a few pieces of fishing string to get the girth and a few other measurements. Then get that girl with all those eggs back in the water so she can produce more trophy fish.
I don't mind seeing fish harvested it's your right, but trophys, come on.
I'm not out there to catch sub 18" fish, I'm out there to catch the biggest, baddest thing swimming in the water get a few pictures and put her back in the water within yards of where she was caught so she can go back to her habitat I took her from.
