Don't leave it for too long in your freezer as they will dry and hollow out from freezer burn. I know this first hand as I was gonna do a fish mount for a 16.5" perch....yes a 16.5" perch! This perch had one the largest humps I ever seen but the fellow that gave it to me left it in his freezer for a couple of years and the freezer burn destroyed it....I couldn't do anything with it, made me sad that such a beauty was wasted
I totally agree. From what i hear your supposed to re-wrap the fish with moist paper towel/ towel every so often... My fish will be screwed. I never did it. Atleast i got the measurements... Make a replica. Waste of a trophy fish though.

Cover the fish in Borox first. Still wouldn't freeze it for too long though. Borox acts as an estringant and keeps the colors looking good
For my family 14 1/2 inches for lesser slave lake, got him mounted up. To bad we didnt have a good scale to weigh him, we were sure he was over the 2 pound mark though.
Can still catch Big Perch from Utikuma , just have to look for them, sometime's alot of hole's, Moving we call them JUMBO's / HUMPYS was good last weekend but needed sled if youre were going to have any kind of searching going on .
