On a fish this size , I just poured a little foam in through the eye after I had the fish cast, and then sculpted the mouth detail back in with apoxie.
You can cast the interior mouth detail with rtv rubber before you mold, or remove the head and cast it separate to get full mouth detail.
Pm me if you would like more info on that.
