Can you save a big fish body from going bad after it dies?

Someone here in NY had their snakehead taxidermed after it was put down by the government. He had it since before it was illegal and it actually got some media attention when he was trying to fight them to let him keep it

Nothing i was just wondering if its possible to do it to a fish

typewriter

yes it is possible to "mount" a fish
to preserve a fish after it dies you should wrap it up in some paper towls and make sure all of the fins are spread apart and not folded and put it in the freezer if you can not make it to the taxidermist quick enough
 
Yes it is very possible I do some taxidermy work on my free time and I mounted my 11 inch Midas my 24 inch silver aro my 12 inch flowerhorn my 37 inch koi i caught from a pond near my house and my 16 inch royal clown knife (still in the process of finishing him)basically as soon as they die freeze them and then contact a taxidermist and they do the rest
