Mark,

Congrats on a nice catch! For short term storage you can freeze your fish. Just put it in a large garbage bag and remove as much air as possible. Lay it flat in the freezer with the best side up. This is fine for a few weeks. For longer term storage there are other things you can do but they aren't really necessary if you plan to take it to a taxidermist soon.

I don't wish to break any of Bob's rules regarding commercial posts but you asked. If this is inappropriate Bob, I apologize. I am a fulltime fish taxidermist and the quality of my work is competetive with the best ANYWHERE. If you'd like more info give me a call and I'll answer any questions you have.
