Skiff report

Bummer that Old Fish Died but nice job trying to revive it Billy. WTG on the Hali.

Reebs and I obviously fish a lot of bass and we bought one of those air release instruments cause we can't have fish die in tournaments. They work well on deep water bass and rockfish. Cheap and a good investment. You should mount that fish right there.

It's sad to see fish that you're trying to release not make it, but great job for trying. Way to go on the halibut as well, and thanks for sharing.

Matt,

Please PM me any info you may have on mounting shops. It was not an easy decision to take this fish. I was literally in the water dealing with it, and knew the Dog was waiting for me to let it go.

All you can do is try. How deep was that fish?

I estimate the fish was suspended at 40 ft. We were fishing in 62 ft. of water. It was caught at 1 pm.
I just PM-ed the specific GPS location.

The fish is now packed in 60 lbs. of ice and I have a call into Global Fish Mounts.

Right on, that's going to be a hell of a mount.

That thing already looks like a mount

An attempted C n R is as good as a actual C n R......I applaud your efforts

[NextBite]

You did all you could, thats all you can ask for.

Very Nice Hali

Try to get a hold of a taxedermist named Kevin moreau. I think its called KWM taxidermy he does the best calicos around hands down.

Beautiful fish. I killed a calico just over 9 lbs in December the week before the closures came into affect in Laguna. I felt bad so I mounted it to have the memory forever. I must recommend that you take it to living designs taxidermy in costa Mesa if you want it done right. Global fish mounts just sends the molds to china to be painted and they don't even look real. The guys at living designs take pride in their work and hand paint all their fish. It does take them some time to finish however. Worth the wait if you ask me.
I'm having a 61 lb WSB mounted now. Jeez, I can barely wait!!
Congrats again.
