ABOUT what does it cost to get a fish mounted? I heard somewhere that you can figure out about $10 an inch. That'd put a 18 inch fish at $180

I wouldn't know.....Ain't caught one big enough yet, so there....lol. But, however, I think it would be more than that for a good mount.
If thats the goin rate, you should be good with a single benjamin! haha I would expect a GOOD mount to run from $250 to $300. Cheap may look good for a while, but they will age and yellow real bad. Its worth the extra money if its worth mounting.
Its cheaper to mount em on a hot grill in the half shell.
Just take a picture :D

Anywhere from $250 to $350 unless its someting huge like a Blue Marlin or something lol
I charged $10 a inch 30 years ago. Sure that it's much more now.

My neighbor charges a flat rate $300 for anything under 22 inches......anything over that is 40 bucks a inch more added to his flat rate

I paid $250 for this one several years ago. I just got my 3.24 back that I caught during the Crappie Master tournament at Grenada. He also repaired and re-painted my mount of 3 and the total was $250. Not sure what the repairs cost me.
Good looking mount Hugh.
Dang nice mount Hugh
Thanks Tommy. I got a nice collection going. I have four done and one in the freezer. I had another one in the freezer to be done but had a mishap! My mother-in-law gave the freezer away not knowing I had a fish in there. When I ask her about it she called the guy she gave the freezer to and he said he ate it! I just wonder what he was thinking when he found a single fish wrapped up. I caught three more one day pre-fishing at Grenada but I turned all three back!
I been checking around and it seems to be between $250-350 for quality work. I had one guy offer to do it for $165., when I saw a picture of his work I understood why.
I got a 3 and 3.2 done. A certain someone has upped my idea of how much the next one will have to weigh.

Caught on 11 foot Sam heaton, at Nader, by the same stump about 5 minutes apart, was some serious thumpage G.:ThumbsUp
Paid 250.00 in 1996 .Attachment 118197
That's a sweet mount. What'd it weigh
I had a 26lb, 42 inch striper my son caught mounted. It was $13/inch of fish.
The guy in Grenada, Allen Dykes, who did Biggerjiggers, and has mine now charges 300.
