Replica mount

WatterBoy · 02-20-12, 10:57 PM

Well, after almost two years of procrastinating, I finally ordered my first-ever fish mount. It will be a replica mount of the first 20" Largemouth I ever caught, the details of which are in this thread. Even though I've caught a couple over 6 pounds, I decided to get a mount of this one (5lb 1oz) since it was caught on the lake where we have our cabin and it will be displayed up there. I can always get my biggest (6lb 9oz) mounted someday, too, if I feel like it.

The guy who is doing the work for me won a "1984 Best in World Largemouth Bass" award, and I got to see some of the stuff in his shop on Saturday morning. It all looked AMAZING! He had a couple of Smallmouth mounts on display that were just incredible. I really need to nail my first 20" Smallie so I can get another one done.

My LM will be encased in plexiglass with an oak base around the bottom and the bass will look like it's jumping out of the water. It should be done in about 4 months, so I can post pics of it this summer.
