    The same trout destined for the freezer,while I was sorting out a taxidermist for the job. Choose the best side and have that facing up.
    Lay trout on a flat board before freezing.

    Bit of info about this mount that was in the process when I was there.


    Into the great wide open

    He's got the fish - you bring the chips.
    Waipukurau taxidermist Graham Renner was just as stunned as national scientists at the size of his latest operation.
    A great white shark, weighing in at a mammoth 835 kilograms, has been shipped up to go under the knife, an assignment Mr Renner is predicting will take at least two months to complete.
    The shark was caught in the Chatham Islands by a commercial fisherman who stumbled across the catch when its tail caught in the cray pot floats.
    Although sharks of this size are common, catching them is a very different story, so the remains of the shark will be reinforced and buffed up ready for display at Te Papa Tongarewa museum in Wellington.
    "They (scientists) were blown away by the size of the heart and the liver," Mr Renner said.
    He said the size of the heart could be compared to a small dinner plate. The liver makes up 20 percent of the body mass.
    Scientists from DoC and the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research have taken parts of the fish to determine its age. Mr Renner's guess is 25 years.
    The amount of plaster needed has almost equalled the weight of the shark itself, not surprising as it measures 4.5m long and stands about the height of a small car.
