Default Prepping a fish to be mounted
The last time I had a fish mounted we wrapped it newspaper and a plastic trash bag to freeze it before we brought it to the taxidermy. Is this still an approved method or is their a better method.

Wrap it in a wet towel and freeze it or if dropping it off tomorrow wrap the same way and put in the fridge.

It is best when a bath towel is tooooooo small and you need a "beach" towel to wrap the fish.

Lol. Very funny old man. My son caught a tagged redfish yesterday. So I'm gonna get it mounted for him. It was 6.5 lbs. He was so excited that we are going to get it as he said stuffed. Lol

Bath towel so you can wrap it up well, just wet it well.
