Picked up my mount today

I ran up to Independence this morning and picked up my fish. I caught this 2.66 lb fish while pre-fishing for nationals at Grenada lake in MS in Sept. After getting opinions from guys on here I took it to Craig Jones at Jones Taxidermy in Independence to have it done. He does a great job and is pretty much in line with other taxidermist on pricing.

That looks AWESOME Jared

Great looking mount....much preferable to the traditional wall mount IMO

That thing is almost as pretty as Ron............ looks like a nice mount.....is that the real fish he used?

Nice!

Now this mount looks good.

Ya Monty it is a traditional skin mount. You can see where it was cut open on the back side of it. The minnow is fake but is actually about the same size as the one I caught it on. Other than I had the 3" minnow behind a 3" White/Chart slider on a Orange jig head.

Wow, very nice looking set! I like that one!

Looks great

nice fishy

i love the position and layout

you got a regular Balaenoptera musculus Pomoxis right there! :biggrin

They did a nice job! Good looking slab!!

Thats Beautiful Jared

Very nice mount Jared.....that will bring back memories for years to come....lol

great looking mount, love it! how long was that fish?

Just under 17". I caught one the first day we were there that was longer but only weighed 1 3/4 lbs. It was on its last leg and real thin. It sure looked good going into the net and I thought I had my first 3 lb fish. Could hardly believe the scales and actually powered them down and checked it again. This one I caught on Wed. It was really thick across the back and may have pushed 3 lb's in the spring time.

Very nice!! I need to get me one.

Jared you the man! Very Nice! Who did it? Just in case I ever catch one over a pound.

Good looking mount buddy.
