finally after my taxidermist avoiding me for 4 week's, i got my crappie back about a month ago... i thought it turned out really well. i know a lot of folk's on here don't care bout mounting a fish, and that's fine, but i was really proud of it... here it is

When and if i catch a 3.7 i'll be damn proud of it too......looks great Jeffie.
That looks awsome and if I ever catch one that size it will go on the wall.
Looks great Jeff, If I had caught one that big it would be on the wall:D
Good catch, nice mount.
From a retired taxidermist, that is a great job.
Congrats again Jeff on that whopper, will make a great conversation for years to come..:)
That looks great. The guy did a great job.
nice one, looks good
I'd do the exact same thing, looks great!
Nice one. Should have mounted him eating a 9" crappie.
If I ever catch one 3 or over it will be going on my wall. Beautiful fish, Jeffie. The taxi did a fine job too.
A 3 pounder's going on a chain for my neckless. I'm wearing that rascal.
Wow now thats a crappie, nice mount!
Very nice, I would do the same thing. I don't care what anybody says thats a hog right there!
Very nice job on the paint of the mount. Who ever does your fish this one and another one you had showed pictures of does an excellent job. When I get back from Sippi I hope to have to get the name of the guy who mounts your fish for you. Hope to have a couple mounted this year. I have a piece of driftwood picked out that will hold 4 or 5 fish. Hope to get a couple big ones from Sippi and then want to mount a 9" fish along with some brusiers. May have to go to the Kansas "Mudhole" this spring and get another one for it also. Thought it would look cool with a small keeper along with some hogs to show the true size of the big ones. Congrats again on the catch of the monster and a very well done taxadermy job on it.
Nice job there jeff,,, what ever some may say iam with you on the mount of a life time,,, and as with the one i have you will never not ever look at it and not remember the exact details of you catching it,,

Man that is a beauty! I agree with Crappie Dan-- If I caught one that big I'd have t-shirts made with its picture that say "I caught this fish. What have you ever done?"
Whoa that is a beaut, congrats. Gonna start carrying Depends in my boat in case I ever catch one close to that.
Mount a clock in it and Flavor Flav won't have anything on you.Quote:

Very nice!
Man o Man slayer that thing looks awsome, guess you was talking about me on the mounting, but what the heck that is one nice fish for sure and you should be proud of it, bet you think of the trip everytime you see that monster hanging there, sure is nice. congrats again on the catch, and tell the taxi der mist guy he did a fine job.
that will be his last !!! dam sissy wont even go out with me anymore.
lmao we were going to go saturday morning , but as u might guess , (yep) he got drunk called me at 430am said he wasnt going , the next day he leaves me a message saying the bar fly he drag home thought she heard me knockin on his door . he didnt even remember calling me , what a mess.......lmao........
Awesome fish and great mount. Congrats
Looks good! Hope to catch something the beautiful one day.
Nice fish, Jeff....you SHOULD be proud of that beast!
thanx all! no mr. beagle i was'nt talking bout you buddy, just speaking in general... i never thought about it chasing a nine incher, that would look awesome. maybe if i can get a 4 lb'r i'll do that. the same taxidermist did my last fish and i was extremely happy with the paint job. the first fish i had mounted that i caught at truman year's ago i did'nt care for. he was highly recommended but the crappie had way to much blue in it for me. does'nt even compare to what this guy does. he's not the cheapest, but he's been in business for 31 year's, so he's gotta be doing something right. thanx again all for the kudos, i'd wear it around my neck but i think that would create back problem's for me!
That looks good. Your taxidermist done ya right.;):)
Looks great
Congrats on that pig!!
That is a very nice Toad Jeff!! Not many people in this world can lay a claim to catching a fish of that Magnitude and have the proof to back it up. What body of water did it come from? I grew up Just south of Ft Leonard Wood
Where did you grow up?i'm just north of Ft. Wood about 25 miles.Quote:

thanx shotwod. it came from toronto lake in kansas. i caught it last april. rumor has it that the lake has been fished out from the out of state guy's;) j/k... me and my fishing buddy havent done as well there the last couple year's but we did'nt put as much time in. it is a finicky lake for sure. i come down to your neck of the wood's for deer season, we hunt about 20 mile's south of lebanon.Quote:
