Title: Bluegill problems
Post by: slabslayer on January 10, 2014, 07:44:57 PM

My replica 12 1/8" bluegill arrived this week (and looks awesome, I might add) and was promptly put on the wall in the home office/study. But my wife and others think it looks tacky, and should go in the man cave/bar, since the office is done in saltwater ship paintings and model ships. They say a freshwater fish is out of place.  Nobody else wants it in there. So, move it or leave it?  Which is best?? ???

It kinda sounds like it may have a better home in the man cave.

I think that there will be more stories told about it in the man cave. But if it has become a matter of principle that it stays in the office I totally understand. Trust me the man cave(living room) is the only room I am allowed to decorate and it is filled with deer and fish.

Hang it at work.  That's where it'll get the most admiration time anyway.

Catch more huge gills and put one in each of the rooms.

You know what they say, if momma ain't happy, no one is happy. Sounds like the man cave will become its home

I must be a lucky one, my walleye was declared appropriate to the living room wall, and I got a new shanty today as an early birthday gift. ;D  But all said and done, our better halves do tend to have a stronger sense of appropriate decorating.  I did once have a client who had a 10' Hammerhead shark that had to be removed from the living room wall so we could finish our work.  So if you get a big enough fish there is no choice in where to hang it.  Sounds like you need to catch a Marlin and order the replica.

It's not all bad though, she's getting me a Jason Mitchell elite thermal x no dew lighted shanty for next ice season. Saw a YouTube video on them while I was recovering and my wife asked if I'd like one. I can't get it until next fall, but it's on the way for next season, even has a built in bait bucket.  ;D So I guess I can live with moving the bluegill!
