    It’s been awhile since I’ve posted some of my customer Fish Taxidermy mounts, and thought I’d post a recent Largemouth Bass, and Northern Pike.
    The Largemouth was caught by Jon W. (BuB) while ice fishing some backwater area in Pool 4 for Pike, and was hooked too deep and not releaseable.
    Enjoy..

    Nice looking work Jack. I know where I will be bringing my next personal best. Do you do replica’s or do you like having the whole fish?

    Jack,
    Very nice fish mounts. I’d love to have you do my personal bests, but I seem to keep doing the catch and release thing. Guess I’ll have to find a place on the wall for my next 3lb perch. Dave

    bigfish- I have been doing this work as a hobby for 30 years, but take it very seriously.

    Dave,
    I’d sure like to see a couple of those 3 #er’s, two on driftwood would look Awesome…

    Love2Fish- I’d rather do the real fish for a skin mount. I have found some very good Replica companies, but the bodies are very expensive, and I still have to do finish work and painting.

    Good Fishing..

    Are you still working on my 60 pound flathead mount, Jack?

    It’s been three years now.

    (that was a joke)

    Brian,
    IF , you EVER catch a 60 pounder, am sure we will be talking a REPO of IT.

    But then in the past you did mention that you were NOT sure if the BIG CAT and YOU, both could fit in the little DOG HOUSE in the back yard.

    Maybe you better start building that BIGGER Dog House..

    See you Monday..
    Jack..
