You see, many fishermen no longer stuff their catch like in the past. Its actually frowned upon now. There's a new method for displaying something the one may catch in the deep blue sea - its called release mounting. What is release mounting? Its a process that taxidermists use to replicate a catch by use of photos and dimensions. The fisherman can display a "trophy" on his wall of what he caught and release the fish/turtle/shark, etc. back into the ocean. Here's some info on what I'm talking about: http://www.kingsailfishmounts.com/releasemountinfo.htm And yes, I'm still looking for a minimum 6 foot long Sailfish or Blue Marlin for my wall!
