Mike,

I'm no expert on taxidermy, but I have seen the work of a lot of them at
shows. I know there are multiple methods, and one retains the skull, skin,
and fins- therefore establishing it as a realistic and one-of-a-kind mount.
The meat of these fish is discarded, which is what makes it distainful for
C&R guys.

I did a google and this site is a quick study of taxidermy methods:

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...

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
