Preserve Your Trophy

Carry a camera and a measuring tape and use this formula, which is fairly accurate, the weight = (length X girth X girth / 800 = lb.). This should give all the info needed for bragging rights without over stressing the fish. Once you land that trophy fish of a lifetime, it's your choice to kill and have mounted, but there is a better option. You can send a high quality photo and measurements to a professional taxidermist where they can make a reproduction of the fish that you caught and released.

When releasing a fish, then handle it as little as possible and return into the water ASAP! Don't hang it from the gill plate! Keep the fish in a natural horizontal position as possible. While releasing the fish, be sure to be facing it upstream in a slower current. This may require some extra time and effort on your part by moving of the fish slowly forwards and back to help the flow of oxygenated water through its gills, take your time for it's proper revival, which can take up to 8-10 minutes. You'll know when the fish is ready, it will have good balance and will aggressively start to pull away from your hands.
