I think the term "trophy" is relative to each angler. I agree with the sizes and terms described above and I don't think a fishing mag should call a 28# bass a trophy. They know what most anglers consider a trophy bass. But if some guy is proud of a 28#'r and wants it mounted, I think thats fine. I have a 5# largemouth (hardly considered a trophy) that I had mounted when I was 12 and it still hangs in my garage. To me it was a trophy then and I still consider it a trophy to this day. Lots of great memories and no regrets. And as far as eating the fish I catch, I enjoy the whole process from the cast to the plate.
