The reason this fish are so big is that my buddy throws feed in the farm pond he's got. There is no real predators except bass, but i wound't eat the fish, the water is kinda gross and has fertilizer in it. I talked to a taxidermist and he said I should catch some more nice gills and have like 3 or 4 gills on a piece of drift wood. he also said the fish might shrink an inch. It already shrunk a bit from the cold freezer i think. I'll try and get a pic up when the mount is complete. I gotta get back out on that pond though! My uncle has a 47 inch pike in his freezer from last summer and is finally having that mounted too.
