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.

Must have been a blast bringing in...Lots of meat on that fish.
