My biggest was from Butla @ 3-1/4 lbs. Tasted great with a side of fried taters and hushpuppies. :D The elusive 4 pounder or unheard-of 5 # monster would grace my wall inna HURRY!

THAT...would be absolutely AWESOME! Just remember to freeze 'em packed in water so they don't dry out...

Taxidermist told me to freeze them flat wrapped in a plastic garbage bag.

When slab master froze their 3+ last year at my house, the taxidermist told them to wet a towel, wrap the fish flat in that, then in a garbage bag and freeze as flat as possible. Seems that'd be easiest on the hide to me.

Gonna take a 4 for me. My trouble is, I've never seen a Crappie Mount that looked worth a flip to me. The belly is always so uniformly white as to make it appear to be replica. Seen a bunch of Bass and brim that looked good though.

Wannabe...

Have you ever seen the string of crappie mounted in the show case at Grizzly Jig? It's pretty amazing!
