Looks like a good start for a school of fish.  I will give you credit for the fish.  I have mounted birds and mammals, but fish were WAY out of my league.  Those do look good.

Only when the hide really starts to dry and you find that little (dang I missed it) lump somewhere and the hair starts to raise in that spot.    :madd:   Quick, grab the BIG hammer and the spot is gone.
