anyone got any advice on how I should fillet this monster - and yes, I probably am showing off - a bit. But it's an honest problem

Up North, we use chainsaws for a fish that big... :D
Thanks Heart - wish they didn't make it look so easy
Is that a rainbow trout? If it is, that's the biggest one I ever seen! Where did you catch it?
IT was a rainbow of 21lb 12oz and it was followed by a brownie of 13lb 5oz and another rainbow of 12lb10oz. Unfortunately it was caught in a lake near the town of Lechlade in England. Interestingly my son and I fished together and between us we caught 10 fish totalling 127lb.
Lechlade is well known for big fish but we've never had a day like it before.
They'll all be cold smoked by me with his help.
You don't fillet a fish like that....You have it mounted and hang it on your wall....Very nice rainbow.

before you mount it, which is just the skin, you still filet the meat out of it.
Fish you hang on wall is a plastic that has been painted to mach you're fish . Take a picture give it to taxidermy all he needs. Then eat yours.
Salmon do get bigger than that... it happens I do work for the IGFA from time to time. Big salmon can be steaked, but that fish should just be filleted, and the fillets portion cut.
Never heard of that..I have had several mounted and I have filet many fish. You would not be able to have it mounted after getting the filet unles you know another way than I do. If so please PM me and share how to do that.
