Thanks for the tip. I tried to clean off as much of the blood as i could but it kept freezing.  Its a lot better in the pic than it originally was, she was a bleeder

nice fish man.. it looks like you were in shallower water.. what was the depth of the water.. im fishing in up state ny trying to target large walleyes.. i have only caught a couple small ones.. i read in one of the articles that walleye favor water temperatures warmer than 33 degrees.. tips are always appreciated thanks

Post by: farmboy on Jan 12, 2012, 11:18 AM

Great fish, I really like the mount too. One of the best walleye mounts I've seen. In my opinion too many taxidermists put too much paint on mounts, making them look unrealistic. This mount has a perfect balance of adding just a little paint to brighten up the original colours of the fish.
Very nice!
