RE: Fish Mounts

I have a 20.5" brook trout, a 24" brown, a 23.5" golden rainbow, and all I need is a big(22"+) rainbow to finish off the trout. I also have a 20.25" smallmouth. A 22"+ largemouth would also go up there hopefully someday.

RE: Fish Mounts

Skeeter,

Now I'm extremely jealous, those are some huge walleyes!!! 27" is tops for me so far but not due to lack of effort, just bad luck and missed opportunities.

RE: Fish Mounts

My brother-in-law and I have started doing some recreational taxidermy on the side. We are working with an experienced taxidermist a few nights a week. Nice guy. Trying to teach a couple of young guys his tricks!
Anyway, we just finished putting the broodstock salmon I caught last month on the form. He was 30". Pretty thin though...weighed 8.5lb. I'll post a pick when I get it done... May come out looking horrible though. It will take close to a month to dry with the humidity though. It is a fun process though...
