Default Anyone have a fish skull collection?

It would be nice to make a collection of fish skulls just like hunters mount european ungulate skulls. Anyone have a collection of fish skulls?

These skulls and two skeletons look so cool it would be nice to line a shelf with them. The musky jaws would be nice bleached.

I have been wanting to do this for a couple years but I haven’t caught one that is legal to keep in Alberta. It’s hard to do a skull mount when you have 0 retention. I have done some research and it looks like guys bake the skull in oven with tinfoil then peel out flesh the hydrogen peroxide bone and super glue back together. I have been hoping to catch something big in Mexico and trying it there on a fish.

I'd like to, but at the same time I release any trophy fish I catch, and it wouldn't seem worth it to go through the work to display a 20in walleye skull. Cool nonetheless.
