How to make a Tuna Tail Trophy!

[@EthanYeo1]

I love the amount of thought and detail you put into mounting it!

Thanks for the video! The step by step process was very helpful. I have a marlin bill in salt in the backyard.

[@SpearwithX]

@@CBOWZER5 cool, let me know how it turns out! 🤙🏼

[@BlissfulBloke]

That's pretty epic! Love it. Maybe I'll try this with my next big Lingcod.

[@SpearwithX]

Yeah for sure! It can work with any of your prized fish! 🙏🏼😁🤙🏼

Awesome Peter. I have a 130lber tail in a bed of salt copying your YT videos. Excited to see how it comes out.

[@SpearwithX]

So stoked you’re trying it on your big tail! Please let me know how it turns out! 😁🙏🏼🤙🏼

I coulda used this video a few years ago. Now I’m going to go to the processors for a matching #150 BFT tail to mount. I have a #30 tail that I left outside, the bugs picked it clean. No smell.

@@petera1117 good luck! 🤙🏼

Awesome video, I’ve been making tail trophies now after seeing how you do this 🙏

[@SpearwithX]

Awesome!! Stoked if any of my videos helped! 😁🙏🏼

Awesome Video! I'm trying this now with a Halibut tail from a 38"er that my son caught. Any tips? Can I salt it in the fridge?

[@SpearwithX]

@@FishingforMemories I would fan out the tail as nicely as you’d like it to look after severing it and freeze it solid first. Then you can prepare a box big enough for the tail and fill with regular inexpensive salt. Put tail in it and cover completely and close with lid. Keep it this way for four or 5 days to set the tail. Then transfer to a cup of salt standing upright to allow the rest of the drying process to happen ideally in a cabinet outdoors to deal with odors. Could take 1-3 months depending on your local weather/humidity. Good luck and let me know how it goes! 🤙🏼

I love using my OB145! Good power, good accuracy and reliably works for that once possible opportunity! 🤙🏼

I want to do this with my 80 lb yellowfin's tail but wanted to know how badly it smells. Is it pungent outside in your backyard or does it kind of air out?

[@SpearwithX]

@@kdub9146 varies by fish but it will smell some. In a cup of salt will help until it’s dried. It doesn’t really smell after cutting and clear-coating the end (or epoxy) and clear coating the rest of the tail. Smells get trapped inside of it. 🤙🏼
