Just wondering if any of you know where to get a good replica mount online? I need something with driftwood or somekind of backround. Also ive never had a replica made, is it pretty easy to tell the difference between a fiberglass replica and a real skin mount?

I recently had a replica made by Richard Benedict in upstate NY.  He did an incredible job.  It looks like I just pulled it out of the water.  Here is a sample of his work.

how much did it cost? $

I believe he gets $18 per inch.  

Wow thats expensive

The ones ive been looking at are around 13$ an inch but im not going to lie, the detail in that picture is impressive. When all is said and done were talking over 400$ for a smallmouth replica. Maybe I should have just kept the fish lol

Replicas are a bit more expensive, but I think they look better and last longer... plus you get to release the fish.
