I want to thank everyone for their input. My fish was only about 2 pounds. If I do decide to have a mount made it will have to be a replica mount because I don't have the fish any more. But it was delicious.

What is everyone's opinion on what constitutes a trophy crappie worth having a mount made?

Now let me preface what I'm about to say with that I am an almost exclusive catch-n-release fisherman. I have kept one fish my entire life and that was, at the time, my largest bass ever and there were no such things as replica mounts, only skin mounts. I much as I would like to see those beautiful fish released back to be caught again this guy has his rights. Now I'm not a hunter, nor am I against hunting, but I'm sure many of you are hunters. If you think of this in those terms then how can you disagree with him. For those of you that hunt think about all the arguements you use to justify what you do to those people in society that look down upon you for hunting animals. Most if not all those arguements apply here.
