Get some piebald, white, blond, and brown otter down in FL, mostly brown. Up in Alaska, they tend to be much darker.

That is really black and beautiful. Nice catch! Many of ours here are dark like this one I caught last year but I have not caught one as dark as yours yet but this one might be pretty close..

Thanks guys! It made my day yesterday after seeing it sticking out of my 220. Should I just get it tanned, or should I get it mounted. And if I should get it mounted, what type of mount.

Skin it with the legs & paws intact along with the lower lip intact.

Taxidermists would pay a premium for that coloration skinned intact.

If you get it mounted It will cost you a small fortune and in 20 years
it will be a dust collector taking up space in your house.

take lots of good photos to preserve the memory of the catch,
and cash in on a very unique specimen.
