Chip is an ex-brother-in-law of mine. Only met him twice. He didn't stay in the family long...lol...anyway he toured me through his taxidermy shop which was pretty interesting and I think I remember him telling me that he didn't usually do fish mounts himself just animals because of how busy he is and that he didn't really like doing fish and that he had someone else that did a real good job for him. I'm not positive but I'm about 90% sure that's what he told me. I do know the fish mounts that he showed me looked great.
