    I caught a nice largemouth this weekend, 22 inches, and decided to get it mounted. My problem is that I do not know where to take it. There are tons of great taxidermists around. I’ve seen excellent panfish, walleyes, pike, musky and smallmouth. I have never seen a largemouth done that I thought was decent at all. They all either have a bad paint job, or their bodies look unnatural or realy thin. Am I the only one that thinks this. I’ve spent two hour looking at taxidermists’ websites and looking at their pictures, without seeing a single bass that I would proudly put on my wall. If any of you know of any in western wisconsin, I would be interested to hear what you have to say. I would especialy like to hear from those who have mounted largemouth and I would love to see some pictures.

    Nice fish Frank! I’d suggest eating that fish. Largies taste great, especially ones that size! Just kidding. Scott Miller Taxidermy in Prescott does great work. I’ve had him do a few fish for me and always impressed how well they turn out. I think this is Scott’s number 715-262-5315. Again, congrats on the nice fish!

    hi Frank,
    Great looking Largemouth..

    and I have to agree with you, that most people DO NOT know how to mount a fish.

    Fish really are the most difficult to do in Taxidermy, the bodies have to be exact, repair has to look like the real thing, and the painting has be natural, and last for many many years.

    PM me your phone no. and let’s talk Taxidermy.

    Jack..
    I also sent you a PM.
