DonO,
So then - I am asking - When you mount a fish do they really leave the meat on the fish? I thought not matter what that would have to be removed.
I was not trying to dig Jacklin. I have met him on my trip up there and he was very warm. I just was confused at the idea that the fish had to be taken to be mounted when I thought the taxidermist would rather just toss the whole thing. I am still I guess a little cloudy on this.

Chuck,I know Bob Jacklin and how much he does for conservation. If he decides to kill a fish, it's just one out of millions he's helped by saving their habitats. A 10lb brown is very big for the area he's fishing, but browns go to 30+ lbs. The Miracle Mile just west of here was known for decades as monster brown water, with regular 10 to 15 lb browns being taken- so many hence the name.Measurements can be taken of the fish and a plastic 'Museum-mount' can be made, but there are mixed feelings about that. No matter what- it's not the fish you caught. To mount a fish requires killing it- pure and simple. Usually the meat is not eaten- given that the fish is not gutted, which would ruin the belly of the mount. Besides, a 10lb brown would not be that good for pan fare. I'd much rather a few 10" brookies, some SSU eggs, hash browns...DonO----- Original Message -----From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Friday, June 23, 2006 5:45 PMSubject: [VFB] Huge Brown Trout
Folks: Here is an article and a pic I found where a guy caught a 30 inch, 10 pound brown trout on the Madison river in Montana last week. Here is the link, Chuck
