| Since everyone liked the fishing stories, how about showing us a picture of your fish mounts with a little story to go with it. When I get a chance, I'll post up my mounts. |

she's rich, she's got huge... tracts of land. |

thanks, i'm proud of him and his deer. he's ranked 3rd in his class and seems to have his head screwed on correctly. both he and his twin sister a great kids. i told him i was mad at him for shooting a deer at 14 that was bigger than either i or his dad in the picture have shot.  |

The red I got mounted was caught on the last day before they went to the 28" max length rule. The previous max length was 30" and he taped out at exactly 30". Thought it was cool to have caught one exactly 30" on the last day of that rule so he got stuffed. I almost always let the big trout go to swim another day, but this one topped 10lbs. and was a pretty fish. It's one of the few over 10 that I've caught and was to pretty to let go. The other ones in the past did'nt have many spots. |

| Is there anything you need to do to prepare the fish for the Taxidermist? I'm just wondering the process. |
