Interesting but not my thing. When I lose a fish the last thing I want is reminding of this on a regular basis :banhim:

That's awesome, if you don't mind sharing how do you do that?

Thanks! Just put them in a container of baking soda with a lid and depending on how large the fish is will determine how long it will need to sit there. I also change the baking soda out once a week or sometimes every other week the baking soda takes the moisture out of the fish pretty much. With larger fish like the wolf fish above i use a metal shirt hanger to gut the fish then i put some baking soda down its throat. Once the fish is all dried out and doesn't feel soft i use a small brush and a damp paper towel to get the baking soda off. Then you could leave it like that or what i do is spay a couple layers of clear polycrylic spray to make it look better.
