I will make a suggestion to you prior to you catching your mounting fish get a replica mount. First reason is the breeder fish is returned to continue their position in the lake and secondly the replica looks better, especially over time. All you need to do is take a picture, measure length and girth.

3 of my 5 are replica mounts - Pike (52"), Walleye (35"), Laker (42") & the real ones - Perch (3lbs) and Rainbow (10 lbs 5 oz).
