I don't mean to be picking your brain but do you mind telling me who your taxidermist is...my goal is some day to catch something(I been close) that is worthy of being mounted and I have no idea to take it to...I live in the IF area...THanks!

I took him to k&m taxidermy in-between rigby and ririe. I have seen his work and heard nothing but good about him, so that's where I took it. Its a trophy of a life time for the southfork so you put a lot of trust into a taxidermist.

Nice fish and you will have to post pics when you get it mounted. I have never had a fish mounted yet, but I should have. If you or anybody else comes across a 32"-34" 15lb Brown, takes lots of pics. I have caught 2 before and only got pics of the one and they did not turn out good. I never had the money to mount them, but now I do and would like to get a replica done some day. Biggest problem is finding some decent pics. Congrats again, that will be a great mount.
