I understand why folks keep big fish but everyone should realize that if they take pictures and measurements taxidermists can create a real models that are better looking and more durable then having the actual fish mounted. That way, trophy fish get bigger and even larger fish are avilable for the future. The fish you took is very old. It takes a longtime to grow another one. Again, I understand but I'd like folks to know there are alternatives to taking the actual fish that get you the same result.
