Default more fish mount info

It's been a good 10 years since my father caught a fish ohio walleye, I'd love to get it mounted for him. I wrapped him in a wet towel and then wrapped in plastic garbage bag and he's been in the freezer since. What are the chances of him still being good enough to mount?

It can still be done.Some taxidermists might say that it cant but I deal with a lot of fish.It can be soaked in water and the water will pretty much soak up into it and help it a whole lot.Ive mounted quite a few that had been in the freezer that long.
