Was this the one you are talking about[Linked Image]

Yeppers…..lol. IIRC it was someone from Alaska. Think it went for $6 or $9G???
I was sitting beside a rich fella from Washington State that was just tossing money out like crazy! I can’t remember what he paid, but he was the winner of this old looking stuffed fish among other things. Had some pretty cool stories and videos of dangerous hunts in Africa. I came back home with a new contact anyways.

ShakeyJake: that trap was commissioned by a fellow in Alaska for a donation to the NTA.

Tonight is the night! Not a 100% donation, I do receive some compensation. About minimum wage is how it works out!

I heard that Jim got this one for a little north of seven grand. I’m glad these things can benefit the ATA at this level.
