I don't do anything fancy with them, it's as simple as cutting the tail of the fish and leaving outside for a few weeks. Sometimes you'll get maggots in them but it's nothing major, my wife hates it but hey..........she married a fisherman. The smell isn't horrendous, add some plugin air fresheners and that will take care of it.

I'm slowly cleaning out my garage and making space on the walls so that I can start hanging some more fishy stuff. I'm hoping to clear up an entire wall so that I can dedicate it to my fishing stuff.

If you salt them up you can cut down on the smell and speed up the process. Thanks for the idea for trophies though, and fortunately I have a wife who doesn't mind (as long as the smell doesn't come in the house)!

That's what I was thinking. I might add gloss or something like that so the tails preserve better, but my laziness may get the better of me. And, you need more tails for that wall. lol
