Everyone's looking forward to seeing your mount, probably

as much as you are! I'm sure it will turn out great.

I think the coloration in the first one looks more realistic however I have seen smallies as light as the second replica, especially in early spring.

def the first, especially cause your PB is darker like the first one! ;D

BEAUTIFUL FISH!

Hey Husky -

Do you mind sharing the contact info for the guy that did your mount? I am interested in placing an order.

Thanks,

Rich

Here is the contact information.

the first one is nicer... i like it a lot more because of the details, but the second fish colour is nicer to me, i like the light greenish brown color.

and btw, nice PB, awesome!

I could never get into the replicas.  I'd rather have a nice 8x10 picture.

The question is "Which looks better?"

Pictures are great, but there's nothing like having

a mount that is built and painted which looks exactly

like the best fish of your life. I hope everyone considers

a replica over a real skin trophy.

Monster smallies

the first one looks better--the 2nd is faded too much

great catches

1st........ seconds a little green

Option A:

Here's a photo of my actual reproduction mount, received today.  It looks so much better in person.  I am thrilled with the job he did.

Too cool!

You da MAN!

One more Kent, photo credit to my 8 year old son Carter.  The flash makes it look much lighter color than it really is.

Seriously...GREAT looking mount!

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

  Mike, It really does look like the fish you caught. Now it's my turn.

That's a beautiful mount!  Kudos to you for releasing the fat girl and choosing a replica!
