Location: ROckford IL | I just got my replica in the mail from Lax that I won from the Capital city chapter, they have a replica contest every year for fish over 45 and I won last year, Lax did an amazing job, I was lucky enough to win this replica when my name was pulled during our awards banquette last year, the lord works in mysterious ways, thanks to Capital city, Lax, and the forces above.

| Nice Replica, and the knotty piece of wood is very cool too. If I were ever to get a replica done I'd have Lax do it and on a piece of pine like that. I'd also have all the details such as aka "Big Man", or the lure/date it was caught. I like that stuff, it gives it a more personal touch. |
