I chose to mount the fish I caught. A replica is just that, a replica. They are to perfect and all look the same. They look like a replica, especially if the person that does it isn't as talented as Allen is. It takes an artist to paint a crappie correctly. Lots of guys can mount one, but VERY FEW, can paint one right. Crappie have lots of green in them. Most guys just paint em black and white. Look at most of the mounts posted, they are black and white. That's NOT how a white crappie looks!!!!!!!! There can be more black on some fish depending on the lake it was caught in, but most have a greenish color down the back. I've seen some nice mounts that were ruined by the paint. Some look like they've got black polka dots on em.
