"Perhaps, you could give all of us some information that would be needed for a replica mount, such as is a photo required, length, weight. girth, special markings etc. Hope to order one someday, just one strike away!!"
here are the basics:
about any size fish can be done and the 'molded fish' probably already exists
length weight girth and any special things about the fish should be noted - a picture dont hurt but most times the repro looks MUCH BETTER than the original fish - i did one for a man who brot me a six pounder with no lateral line and a straight black and white color scheme - this was the REAL fish - when he got 'it' back he was pleasnantly surprised with it (to say the least)
cost runs $8-12 and inch - in many places this is at or under the skin price - i sold a 14 pound fish on ebay that i would be glad to post is i knew how to add a picture
as far as the paint job goes the repros (in my opinion) are much more lifelike than skin mounts and they never wear out or yellow
commercial ahead: if anyone is interested my email address is [email protected]
some of our best fishing occurs during the warm days of february (none of them so far in Illinois)
good fishing
