Thought I'd share some pics I took last night while at my taxidermist's shop. He's mounting our 3rd place stringer from Mississippi State Championship on Grenada back in March. More pics to follow!!
It took 6 trips to his shop and many photo texts but I got them home. 17 month project! We had differing opinions of the paint color scheme, but we came to a compromise. I wanted the solid white fresh out of Grenada's cold water look, and he was pushing for his normal green/yellow tint. I'm super happy with finished product. They are truly a work of art. Hope everyone enjoys the photos.
Thought I'd go back and share the article. 7 fish weighed 20.3 lbs. They held the heaviest 7 tournament fish on record for about 15 minutes. Until the Reeves nudged us out by 1/4 pound! MMMHH. We'll be lucky to ever land 7 like that again.
Here's a few pics before the skinning stage. He instructed me to wrap them individually in wet towels before freezing. And then rewet the towels every 3 months if keeping stored for long period.
