Hangin' up fish on the wall

So, Frank and other fisherdudes and dudettes...

Hubby (super-avid angler) is fixing to get a replica made of his most recent "big fish." We don't have a "man cave" currently, although he and our boys are slowly taking over the home decor bit by bit. So, riddle me this: Do you have any fish mounted on your walls? Is there ANY way to do this tastefully? I'm going to (very) strongly suggest he at least mount it in the office, but I'm wondering if it's going to be watching me all the time...

First , almost all fish taste good,,uh, I mean, are done in good taste. Think about all the finesse that goes into catching that one unique swimmer that will soon adorn the (otherwise drab common wall) turning it into a beautiful work of culture, nature, and excitement right there in your own home.
Yes, a fish worthy of a proper and fitting place of prominence in your home, a place where folk can come from far and wide to show respect and hommage the mighty victor of this beast ,,to set their eyes with awe upon the wall where this once wetland dweller now lives.

wait,,what was your question ?

oh yeah, yes, we do have mounted fish on our walls,,
tastefully is in the eyes of the beholder,,
and yes, it will watch your every move,

you know how the old paintings on the wall in the Haunted Mansion follow you as you go down the hallway ,,those are the kinds of eyes I have put in the fishes on mounts

Happy fishing !

Excuse me, we have 1 fish on the wall, and I caught it. It was 1 ounce shy of state record. When I caught it DB and myself were for eating it, Frank wanted to keep it.

Aww, but a thing of beauty it is.
Almost 13"long!
You just don't eat a fish like that,,you kill it, gut it, nail it to a stick and put it on your wall,

Well, that's a pretty fish! And you're right -- I had it on the computer screen and walked around the office. Sure enough, it watched me closely the whole time. Hmm....

My brother-in-law had a deer head hanging in his living room for years and it was not even his. It was his business partners mount. His business partner killed it and had it mounted$$$ and brought it home and hung it in a prominent spot over the coffee table. In the middle of the first night the deer left its place of prominent and traveled through the glass top of the table.It then left the house and spent the next 14 years on the wall of another mans house until the proud owner Devora and reclaimed his prize!!
