I just received my fish from the taxidermist. This is the fish that won the float tube tourney on January 28,2002. I attached 2 pics, 1 of the fish, and the other is the trophies for biggest fish, and heaviest stringer, both 1st place.

Awesome fish dude!

uhhhh is that a gold fish or something? whats w/ the color? ive never fished for those powerbait munchin robot fish. are they all like that? i doubt it

These fish are called lighting trout. They are yellow in color with a pink stripe down the center. SARL will be stocking a truck load next thursday the 14th. These fish are not common, in fact a sarl exclusive from mt lassen. Most of the time the fish are rainbow. I was totally stoked, because as sarl says, when you hook up a lighting trout, they go airborn! This one went airborn right in front of me about 2-3ft in the air upon hookup. Awesome rush to catch, and the meat is good too. Better than rainbow...

What was the cost of the taxiderm job?

How's it going everyone!
Banginbob here,
There was a question of how much it cost to stuff a lloyd, well Egor in Santa Ana California charges $11.50 a inch. A standard price by most taxidermist. This fish is a skin mount, not fiberglass. The fins are fake though, as the real ones had alot of damage. Egor is fast about getting your fish back, took 1 month. If anyone is interested in stuffing a prized catch his information is as follows:
Caragodin's Co. ARt Taxidermy Studio
2931 S. Main St., Suite D
Santa Ana, Ca 92707
714) 435 0950

I don't work for this guy, just use his services.

Tight lines,
Bangin Bob
