The taxidermist that mounted the fish is a friend of mine. He said the guy's wife was a biatch with a capital B. She pestered him to death to get it done and after he built a crate to haul it in, which she insisted on, she whined and *itched about how big it was and how much it cost. He said he is considering not doing any more state record fish.
While the wife made a scene about the crate the guy just looked at the floor.
