41 and 22 would put it close to 30#

These guys do fantastic work but they are not cheap.

I had one done at Rogers Taxadermy in Lakewood. He did a great job and it cost me $350. I chose to go with a "replica" of my fish and he did a good job.

It was a 7.6lb rainbow trout caught at Mineral lake. Not the biggest fish from there but it was my biggest trout ever caught. so i had it done  :IBCOOL:
