Nice fish man! Did she fight hard?

RE: 38 lb Lake Trout
 

well there were several issues
A. they dont make a mold large enough, the taxidermist would have had to sculpt it himself,
B. The skin on Trout species becomes thick and oily as they age and is almost impossible to get dried out.
C. Noone wanted to take a chance on it.
so i went with the replica.


Yea she fought ok, its wasnt like a large king or anything but she was very persistant and kept going back to the bottom.

I am sorry to here that but, at least you will have something made up to look like that. Also the photos of it is a great way to tell folks about the one that didn't get away!!!:)
