No pun intended!!!
I'm planning on getting my big fish mounted so 's I can remember the great time I had at Washington. Does anyone know a GOOD taxidermist for crappie? I mean a GOOD one.

11.9 bass I caught eight years ago, still looks like it was just mounted. Hi tech taxidermy from mcgehee,ar. his name is david shopher and does the best work u will ever see. it cost me 325 but well worth it
Here's one I got mounted last spring. Neil Ferrell in Union, MS mounted it.

I can foresee boat prices going up in the near future.

Here's a 3.3 I had mounted. John walker mounted this one. He does great work but is pretty far away from you.

Mullins in Bono, AR did these 3.6 and 3.2 from Arkabutla 2 years ago. They were caught by my fishing partner. Let me know if u need any info. I think he charged $10 an inch for these.

Here is the one I got done last year by Stanford Taxidermy in Saltillo. Arnold does all the fish. I think it was $200, but I found my own driftwood.
That's a fine looking mount.Quote:

Dang, Neil did a good job Scott. I used to teach his son Sean Taekwondo when I had my school in Union
Small world, isn't it? Neil is a great guy and he does good work. He doesn't over paint his fish like some I've seen. All of the mounts posted on here look great.Quote:

OLD GEEZER FISHERMEN NEVER DIE, THEY JUST SMELL THAT WAY!!
I wrapped in news paper, put it in an vacuum bag, and froze it flat. Hope I did it right. That's what I was advised to do.

More pics please. The ones so far look great!!! More suggestions too!!

I went to my brothers house and took a pic of his mount. He got it done at the same place as mine. He caught this 3 pounder a few years ago. Of course my fish is Bigger!!! lol
Sorry for the fuzzy pic, looked better on the phone.
