Thanks again Bryan. That was an amazing feeling to catch a fish like that and feel the true power in these fish. It almost still feels like a dream. Its a scenario that I had played out in my head a million times. I can’t thank you enough.
Can anyone recommend a good taxidermist? The last one I used i was not very happy with. But it was a 3# rainbow and he probably wasnt used to these fish, but i want this one go be done right and look good.

Congratulations guys on that nice fish! Also, kudos to Lee and the Richardson’s for a great event. I’m sorry I couldn’t stay for the weigh-in, because my family was expecting me back by 5 . I didn’t have anything to speak of to put on the scales. The food, door prizes, and message were nice though! Next time, I’ll have the family come out after fishing or even have them fish with me:)
Van was in the wrong boat yesterday! Lol! Time for me to move down lake. My LR fish have let me down 2 weeks in a row:)

Thanks for the pix. Stout, you just made up my mind. That is a beautiful job right there. One of the above mentioned taxidermist did the trout for me and was going to give themanother shot but not after seeing that pic. Thanks again.
