very nice, bet their was no doubt that fish was going to be a wall hanger. looks like they did a great job
Thanks for all the comments I thought he did a great job also I called all the taxidermy shops around my home town and they where all backed up for at least 1yr he told me six months but i got it back in 3 it was a very nice early fathers day present.
Nice Fish, Wish I Had His Grandpa!
That is an awesome mount... Congrats!!!

What was the length & weight when you caught it? That thing is a SWINE!!!
It weighted 3.1 on my Berkly scale and was 17.5 inches long.but tournament scales weighed it at 2.66 lbs still my biggest fish to date and i hope to get one bigger this fall/winter
Good looking trophy!
looks verry nice
nice mount
Very nice fish.congrats.
heck of a fish and excellent mount too! i gotta ask what did it cost and what prep did you do to prepare the fish before you sent it off?

Guys sorry for the delay on answering your questions when i caught the fish i took it home and wraped it in clear plastic wrap made sure the tail and fins where straight out flat.
I caught it in Dec shooting docks on lake guntersville alabama it weighted 3.2 on my scale and 2.66 on the offical tournament scale but to me and i tell everone it was 3.2
The taxidermist that mounted it lives in decatur alabama and was well recommended Swan Creek Taxadurmy he did a great job and if you ever need a mount done he is the man the cost was $170.00.well worth the cost for a great first mount.
Thanks for all the replies and i hope to have a bigger one to show off in the future.If anyone is looking for a good jig to use or spoon give laser doc a call he is the man for making jigs for big fish.
Thanks James
Nice "skin mount". Although I prefer replica mounts for better quality and lasting durability, this taxidermist, (Joshua Knuth) has my vote for doing one of the best Black Crappie skin mounts, Simply awesome coloring and airbrush work too...look at the irredesent blues and violet that live crappie have.
