Over the years I've taken the taxidermy skills that I was taught and I've
tried to improve on them. So I can do the very best job that I can, and over the years
I've found out through this, the deal is to get every thing off of that
skin that you can, and out of every nook and cranny that you can,
Because when
you skin this fish you cut him down the back here, you take this skin,
you lay it out this way, you take all the meat out.
When you get there
you break it off at the skull, you break the vertebra right off of the
skull. Then you take it and it gets a little gory, if you are not used to
it.
