    Ok, does anyone know of any place that does replicas that will get back to you? I tried both of these places and I still haven’t heard back from them.

    Joe Fittante (Fittante Replicas) hands down the best out there. Period. He’s out of Antigo Wisconsin, and in my opinion blows everybody out of the water. Muskies and Pike are his bread and butter. I’ve never really cared for Lax, the fish end up looking a little fake in my opinion, especially the fins.

    I had Bass Pro do a walleye last spring. I thought it turned out very well.

    Here’s what I’m talking about with the fins. I think the detail Fittante puts into the work is phenomenal.

    It’s just a picture I found on Facebook of somebody’s fish who went through Joe.

    ZERO complaints with Mike after several dozen fish brought to him for my guiding clients and going in, you will know you won’t have to wait months for your fish to be back in your hands. Mike and this business is 2nd to none ( he taught many of the others)…in my opinion based on numerous work done by him for us.

    Scott Miller in Prescott Wisconsin did an excellent job on a smallmouth and a brown trout for me. His prices are also better than most of his competition.

    Fins look great but look at the paint job. The depth is amazing. Put that thing in the water and it might swim away.
