I just ran across this today and had never seen the finished plaque. Turned out to be a cool story. I was already planning to give him the lure face to face but things got hectic so I was going to mail it instead.....then Mark calls me and you know the rest......

That was the first Phantom I ever owned. Check out the front treble.....there is hardly any barb left! That guy saw a little bit of action.
