Thanks Guys! The right guy caught the fish, he truly appreciates the experience & understands people spend their whole life chasing a fish like that.
Matt, Do you have any contact info for Lyons and Ohaver? I've heard great things about their calico's. I have personally been through a horrible experience with Roberts as well of hearing many others.

http://www.lyonsandohaver.com/ I used to do taxidermy and I have done a lot of fish. I even got prety good at it. I would say I am/was better than 80% of perfesional fish taxidermists. The reason I am telling you this is for reference. Both Lyons and Ohaver and Roberts are world class. They both do incredible work. They put me to shame.
