Not to be critical, but what is the deal about mounting a big fish?
The picture of you holding that big sow is very impressive, why not blow that one up in a big frame on the wall? I'm sure that your wife has already asked all of these questions. Guess that I'm am just too cheap to spend that much money on a fish, I would rather have a kayak or a new shotgun or something more useful to me. A fish that size is probably about at the end of its life anyway so no big deal, just wondering. I caught and released a 29" one day that I wish I had a picture of now but I still don't want her on the wall.
+1. Though I will say it's often hard to get a good picture of a fish like that, especially in the water.

But if you get a good one and have someone who knows anything about taking pictures, I'd rather have a picture in a nice cypress frame perhaps with the bait hooked on it.

BTW, congrats on such a superb trip. And I don't blame you for mounting it. Just my take on doing so.
