My mount of my first musky is being displayed at our area Sports Show. I went Friday night to check it out and here are the pics. I get to pick it up on Sunday and it already has a spot above the fireplace in the new home.
Here’s another.
Nice fish there MG. One to be proud of for sure. 
Nice fish Muskygirl!
Congratulations on a fine catch.

Yes, it did come out of Pewaukee. Nov 20th, 2004. Length was 38. This is a replica of the musky I am holding in my avaitor pic.
Who did the mount for you? That’s a great looking fish.
MG, nice fish, mind if I ask how much the replica cost?
I’ve got pics of a couple ‘eyes that I’d like to have replicas made for, but I think the pair would run me over $800, which is a little rich – maybe I could get a two-fer special somewhere, but I haven’t seen one advertised.
Now all you need is a 2lb bass to stuff in it’s mouth, and you’ll have a great looking table piece!
VERY nice fish there Cheri. Looks like you must be getting situated in the new ”home on the river”, , as you are getting back on board. 
Don’t stay away so long, you were missed. You and all the sharing and posting you do is much appreciated. And that goes for everyone else too-you are much appreciated.
Thanks, Bill

I just picked up my replica smallmouth at Fiber Tech in Nisswa. I could not be happier with it. I was reluctant to do a replica after looking at numerous websites to check out their quality via the pics, so I drove up there to look at his work before moving forward. Well, his stuff was amazing….the website did it no justice. And, I am certain he’d come in below the $$ your talking about. PM me if you’d like more details (I’m not repping for this company, just happy with the quality and service).

Sweet!
Fiber Tech and Fittante are two of the best

The mount was done by Dan Johnson Taxidermist out of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin (Waukesha County). Yes, he did a great job. He also does repaintings, and animals as well.
As for the cost, I could not tell you. It is being given to me by my buddy (in the pic) and my other fishing buddy who passed away this last Thanksgiving. I guess they had been in cahoots together about getting one done when ever I finally got my first musky. With this said, the mount means more to me then just my first musky, it also means the friendships you can build while fishing – they may be here one day and gone the next. Mike had been there since day one for me when I started to take up fishing back in 2000. He rooted me on when ever he knew I was going musky fishing and would be just as upset as I would finding out I didn’t get one yet. Mike died 5 days after finding out I finally got my first musky – but it wasn’t from me, it was from my other buddy. I kept saying I needed to send him the e-mail with the pic’s but with things going on at work and the holidays coming, I never found the time and regret it to this day. But I will have a piece of him in the that mount and there is a plaquc (sp) that goes with the mount in Mike’s memory because he helped me get Angler of the Month out of that fish.

Ya, were not moved in yet, still have a week and a half of work here and then move in is the 1st. ya, I know it’s been awhile since I was out here, with going out there on weekends and tying up things here at home, it’s not so easy getting on here. And with the whole “cat shotting thread gone bad, I kind of wanted to lay low as not to urine any one else off.

You started a good thread.
It is not your fault that it went a stray. Just look around alot of the posts are not even about the subject that the thread is about. Once you start a thread you can not do a thing about how it is going to go, many different people with many different ideas.

Oh ya,
GREAT SKI

So sit back, relax, and share and post away.
Thanks, Bill
