Depending on where you located there should be a taxidermist shop (they are the ones who stuff animals ) or ask the local sporting goods stores in their hunting or fishing department or ask the local fishing or hunting clubs. If not than go online and see where the local taxidermist shop is. Freeze the fish to preserve it but make sure it is laid out flat ( our catfish curled up into a U shape when we froze it.) Good luck.

Skin mounting is a lost art. Very few still know how to skin stuff mount a real fish. The only other option is to have it casted, they take the measurements of the fish and they make a replica.

Here's an alternative. Try Gyotaku. It's a fish print on rice paper using your fresh fish and some acrylic paints. You can always eat your fish after it's printed.

ok so you caughht a giant fish what next...? well you need to find a taxidermist if you actually want it properly stuffed or they can make a cast either way you need to wrap it in a clot and freeze it straight away until you can find some where that will do it if you told me your state i could give you a link to your most local taxidermists

D Dog is totally correct because they actually make a casting from it.
