Where did you catch these?
Fish can be measured, photographed and released. A fiberglass mount can be made
How far out in the Gulf did you go?
Go back to Colebrook and try a Repala.
Get a little chief smoker. I have the smaller model for 30 years. I only had to replace the wood chip pan a few years ago. I use this for fish once or twice a year. It comes with instructions and a recipe book.
Bad for humans. Causes breathing problems and coughing. Dying fish means the live ones are probably contaminated. Haven’t fished in Naples area for the last month.
Where did you catch these?
How much does that mount cost. It’s a beauty.
No need to kill the fish. Take a photo and estimate measurements. Fiberglass mounts last much longer.
Delicious, but difficult to fillet. Check out utube for instructions
