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.
