I was walleye fishing before daylight and hung a fish. When I got it to the boat I could tell it was a white bass so I tried to swing it in, after all it was a white bass and they don't get too big. My rod bowed and I banged it into the side of the boat it is a thousand wonders I got it in. It weighed 4lbs. 2ozs. just 14ozs. from the state record.

After some deliberation I decided to get a replica made. I have been doing some looking on the web and cannot find a place. Some places do good work but want you to take out a loan. Others just look like junk and still pricey. What is the going rate and where would you go? I have measurements and pictures. I want something that looks like it but I can't afford museum work. Thanks for the help.

Try Lake Fork Taxidermy.

Very nice catch! Good luck with the replica. There must be someone out there that can help.

wow, my goodness that just doesn't look right

What a beast of a white bass!

I had spent some time searching around online for good replica-mount taxidermists earlier this year (just in case lol)

Below is a link to a site that I felt looked very realistic. However, please note I have no personal experience with the business.

Best of luck in your search!

Really nice fish congrats and thanks for sharing it with us !!

Dang! What a hawg of a white bass....I wouldn't mind catching them so much if they were all that size. Even half that size would be nice. 

That is just a ridiculously obese white bass.  Good luck on the replica.

Try contacting King Sailfish mounts in Ft. Lauderdale Fl. I have heard they have great replicas on LM bass, but not sure on the white. Nice fish!

Great catch!!

I second lake fork. Have not had them do one yet, but have been there and they do incredible work. Price seemed to be about what I thought the going rate would be. Don't know if they have molds for that fish or not, email they will tell ya.
