[QUOTE="dean nelson, post: 101937, member: 1305"] I only have one fish on the wall and it's a 28 inch eye that was my first true big walleye I caught in high school. Used to think if I got one over 30 I would mount it but got a 31 that was just post spawn but didn't get her mounted and she was fatally hooked in the gills so she went under the knife. Not sure why I didn't. ...probably because she had lost allot of her good looks when she spawned. If she still had that fat belly maybe I would have. For me it's not really a set weight or length thing with fish but more of a holy shit thing. The more capitals used to spell it the more likely it will be to go on the wall. Like said by a few the story will play a large roll in what trips the taxidermy switch. With panfish I'm not sure if I would ever do a solo mount because it just never seems to do them justice or something. For whatever reason I've just never liked them thone mounts. Be far more likely to do a stringer mount or have them laying around a fake ice hole type of set up then the old perch on a chunk of driftwood but those get spendy fast probably why I don't have one. Oh and for a taxidermy thread we need way more pictures. Post them up guys let's see what you've got on the wall. [/QUOTE]
